Tamirat Tola and Hellen Obiri Win New York City Marathon This year’s race saw a course record broken and a dramatically close women’s contest.
The Boston Marathon Women’s Elite Field Was Historic. London’s Will Be, Too. The depth of talent at the top levels of women’s marathoning continues to grow, outpacing the men. Expect stacked races to follow.
Hellen Obiri’s Approach to the Boston Marathon? Patience. Hellen Obiri moved from Kenya to Boulder, Colo., to chase a running accomplishment she has yet to achieve: dominance in the marathon.
