The Ethiopian ran 2:06:17 for the victory at the 2024 Boston Marathon.
After threatening the course record for more than 20 miles, Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia slowed significantly over the final miles, but held on to win the pro men’s title at the 2024 Boston Marathon in 2:06:17.Mohamed Esa of Ethiopia moved from fourth to second over the final mile to claim the runner-up spot in 2:06:58. Evans Chebet, who won here the previous two years, placed third in 2:07:22.CJ Albertson was the first U.S. finisher, placing seventh in a personal best of 2:09:53.
The difference between his and the previous record splits started to slip. Lemma passed 20 miles in 1:33:48, which was 48 seconds ahead of Mutai’s 2011 pace.After Lemma crested Heartbreak Hill, the question was whether he could capitalize on the mostly flat to slightly downhill final five miles. He looked unlikely to match Mutai’s otherworldly final 10K of 28:26 from 2011. But Lemma just needed to do a 2:01 marathoner’s version of holding on reasonably well.
