Boston Marathon 2015: Start time and schedule for the weekend
The world’s oldest annual marathon gets underway on Monday.
Meb Keflezighi of California won the men’s open division a year ago, his first victory at Boston. Keflezighi is a veteran who also has a victory in the 2009 New York City Marathon under his belt. Rita Keptoo was the victor for the women last year, but was given a two-year doping ban in January.
Runners will navigate through eight different communities, including Boston and Heartbreak Hill, where the topography is rough and notorious for its difficulty.
