2019 Boston Marathon Results

The rain held up (mostly) during the 2019 Boston Marathon, and the results for the elite runners ended up being a tale of two races. On the women's side,Worknesh Degefa of Ethiopia ran away with it, quite literally, at one point maintaining a lead of three minutes over the nearest competitor at one point before eventually winning in 2:23:31, beating second-place Edna Kiplagat of Kenya by more than 40 seconds. Jordan Hasay of the U.S. finished on the podium in 2:25.20, and last year's winner, Des Linden, took fifth in 2:27:00.

(Look up 2019 Boston Marathon results. Just scroll down the page and enter in a runner's name or bib number.)

It was the opposite story for the men, where Lawrence Cherono of Kenya narrowly edged second-place Lelisa Desisa at the tape, winning in 2:07:57 to Desisa's 2:07:59. But don't feel bad for Desisa; the Ethiopian had won the last two Boston Marathons. American men had a good showing, with Scott Fauble taking seventh place in 2:09:09 and Jared Ward finishing eighth in 2:09:25.

2016 Arizona Rock & Roll Marathon - Race Results & More

The weekend of January 16th and 17th marked the running of the Arizona Rock & Roll Marathon and half marathon, which take runners through the streets of Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe. Race results are up, and the quickest way to find your individual stats are on this results search page.

Scroll down further on the page, and you'll find the race leaderboards, showing the top finishers for the marathon, half marathon, 5K, and other events. In the half marathon, a couple of American men tuning up for next month's Olympic marathon trials did well: Scott Bauhs finished first in 1:02:23, While Ben Bruce came in second in 1:02:28 (which, while not a winning time, was a PR for him, as he noted on Twitter after the race).

In the women's division, Janet Cherobon-Bawcom, a 2012 Olympian in the 10,000 meters, won the half marathon in 1:11:49. The runner-up was Tara Welling in 1:13:07. (See more in this story on the Arizona Rock & Roll Marathon.)

Note: Not to be outdone by her husband, Stephanie Rothstein Bruce came in ninth in the half marathon while pacing her friend Caitlin Comfort—not a bad finish, considering she gave birth to the couple's second child just a few months ago.

Tommy Rivers Puzey won the men’s Arizona Rock & Roll Marathon in 2:25:22, more than two minutes ahead of second-place finisher Roosevelt Cook. Tanya Gallager won the women's race, almost a minute in from of McKale Davis.

With some parts of the U.S. having typical freezing weather, we bet a distance run in the Arizona sun was a welcome experience.

2015 Boston Marathon - Race Results

See 2015 Boston Marathon results links below.

Congrats to everyone who completed today's B.A.A. Boston Marathon under cool and rainy conditions. Your winners were Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia on the men's side, running away with a time of 2:09:17, and Kenya's Caroline Rotich, who pulled away from Mare Dibaba near the finish to cross the finish line at 2:24:55.

Desisa's win was his second in three years. He won in the bombing-scarred Boston Marathon of 2013, and showed his classiness by donating his winning medal to the city of Boston as a sign of solidarity.

The top American finishers were Des Linden, who finished fourth overall in the women's race, and Dathan Ritzenhein, who came in seventh in the men's event. This was a great finish for Ritzenhein, who led the race for a while at one point. It was also a good finish for another male American, as last year's overall winner Meb Keflezighi came in behind Ritz in eighth place, despite having to stop to vomit five times.

And in another unforgettable, classy Meb moment, he found himself running next to American Hilary Dionne near the finish, and took her hand and raised it with his as they crossed the finish. (Dionne was the fourth American woman, and 15th woman overall.)

You'll find these and all results at the official Boston Marathon results list. Several ways to view the results:

• top finishers
• searchable race results
• athlete tracking
• entrant list (searchable by name and bib number)

Congrats to everyone who ran the 2015 Boston Marathon! Check the official Twitter account for the latest updates.
