$150,000 for the winners. The dispute of one of the most exciting ‘majors’ on the international calendar is approaching. The Boston Marathon, the one that takes place on Mondays to commemorate ‘Patriots’ Day’, will take place on April 18 with a spectacular elite lineup. The owner of the second best mark in marathon history, Kenenisa Bekele, will not be present. The Ethiopian had an injury while she was preparing for the test and has not arrived on time. Not being 100%, she prefers to focus on other goals. Nor will the American Sara Hall.
Despite this, there will be athletes of the stature of Lawrence Cherono, Birhanu Legese, Geoffrey Kamworor or Sisay Lerma for men and Peres Jepchirchir or Jocelyn Jepkosgei for women.
$706,000 in the marathon
Reviewing the list of prizes awarded by the test, we focus on those 150,000 dollars for the winners. 75,000 dollars will win the second classified and 40,000 those who complete the podium. Up to tenth place ($5,500) cash prizes will be awarded. In total, 706,000 dollars that will be distributed in the marathon test (125,000 in the wheelchair test). In addition, there is an extra $50,000 prepared in case the Test Records are broken. In the male case, Geoffrey Mutai with 2:03:02 in 2011; in women, 2:19:59 from Buzunesh Deba in 2014.
