Monday’s 128th running of the Boston Marathon saw fast times and new records for elites and amateurs alike. Ethiopia’s Sisay Lemma dominated with a wire-to-wire win, while Hellen Obiri won the women’s race for the second year in a row. As always, many Canadians travelled to Boston to prove their mettle on the famously hilly course; here are a few who had a good day on the course.
