Robert K. Cheruiyot has taken charge of the 112th Boston Marathon, surging away from the lead pack near the 18 mile mark and quickly gapping the field.
The Champ looks strong and has a great chance to smash his own course record and serve notice to the rest of the world that he is ready for this summer’s Olympic Games. His last 5k was run in a remarkable 14:47 on hilly terrain. Behind Cheruiyot, Abderrahime Bouramdane and James Kwambai are staging an epic battle for second place while Kasime Adillo is trying to hold on.
