Eliud Kipchoge and Kenyan Runners Eye History in 2023 Boston Marathon.
Eliud Kipchoge, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and marathon world record holder, is set to make his Boston Marathon debut on Monday. Kipchoge is the favorite in the elite men’s race, which boasts some of the strongest fields ever seen at a major marathon. The women’s elite race will be headlined by three former Boston winners. The course is net downhill but includes four notable climbs in the second half, culminating with the notorious Heartbreak Hill at the 20-mile mark. The weather could be a battle against the elements with rain and wind forecast during the day.
