"Highlights from the 128th Boston Marathon"
The 128th Boston Marathon has kicked off with professional men and women, including defending champion Hellen Obiri, competing in the 26.2-mile race. The field features past champions and up-and-coming competitors vying for the crown and a share of over $1 million in prize money. In the wheelchair division, defending champion Marcel Hug is looking to retain his title, while American Susannah Scaroni has withdrawn due to injury. The race is also a showcase for inspirational stories, including 44-year-old Edna Kiplagat and the quest for a three-peat by men's division contender Evans Chebet.
