"I'm always second to Hellen," Lokedi said following the race, per Nick McCarvel of Olympics.com. "[I said] today there's no way... today I put it out there and I wanted to fight until the end. We all wanted it so bad."

Obiri was attempting to win the event for a third consecutive year, but she settled for No. 2.

As for Korir, he took a tumble near the starting line but quickly made up ground before pulling away near the 20-mile mark.

He finished No. 4 in the Boston Marathon a year earlier, improving upon his 2024 time by nearly three minutes.

While Mantz missed a spot on the podium by losing a late sprint to Simbu and Kotut, he still put together the second-fastest finish by an American male in the competition.

“I was happy to be there, fighting for second with about a quarter-mile to go,” Mantz said, per Zaccardi. “But the harder I tried, the slower I started to run at the end.”

The 2025 Boston Marathon featured broken records and tight finishes, with Korir and Lokedi winning their respective races.
