Defending Boston Marathon men’s champion exits early

Published

Defending Boston Marathon men’s champion Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia will not repeat in 2025.

Lemma, 34, surged to an early lead and held off the rest of the field to win last year’s race, but he experienced issues with his leg around the 17-mile point as he fell off the pace on Monday.

Television coverage showed Lemma stepping off the road and attempting to stretch out his leg. He did not appear to rejoin the pack.

The Boston Marathon continues on the 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to downtown Boston and the iconic finish line on Boylston Street.
