Description: The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events. The Boston Athletic Association manages this American classic, which is sponsored by John Hancock Financial Services.
John Hancock Financial announced the return of 2011 Boston Marathon champions Geoffrey Mutai and Caroline Kilel of Kenya for the 116th running of the race on April 16.
Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest marathon in history at last year’s race, prevailing against a highly competitive field without the aid of pacesetters. In a thrilling duel to the finish, Mutai outkicked his teammate Moses Mosop in the final meters to break the tape in a World’s Best 2:03:02 to Mosop’s 2:03:06. Never before in the sport had two men run the 26.2-mile distance with such speed.
