Kenya's Benson Kipruto won the men's race and Diana Kipyogei led a Kenya sweep of the women's podium at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Kipruto who won the Prague Marathon in May, pulled away with less than 10 kilometers to go.
American CJ Albertson had earlier set an aggressive pace to lead the men's early pace but was soon dropped from the leading pack.
Ethiopian Lemi Berhanu and Jemal Yimer finished second and third respectively.
In the women's race Kipyogei took a lead from a crowded pack at the 30 KM securing a classical win.
Edna Kiplagat who won in 2017 finished second while compatriot Mary Ngugi was third.
The race was canceled in 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic.
