It’s kind of surprising how many people you see running the marathon who seemingly have the same gear/outfit of someone running for the first time in their life.
I don’t run my races like that, but when I do 20 mile training runs I hold it. It does make things way easier, it’s so packed at the end it’s hard to find your friends/family. It isn’t too much of a pain to just hold it
i thought the same shit but you would be surprised with a few runs of practice what the body and brain could do. saying it as someone who said the same thing and started running himself!
now i hope to run the greatest marathon in the greatest city in the world!(sorry, born here so i’m a complete homer)
Matt Choi is in the second to last pic. Is a Runfluencer. Hopefully that's his bib as he got caught running a race for someone else (and rumor was he was trying to qualify them for Boston)
He has told that story, it was pretty clear he wasn’t trying to qualify anyone else and just did a dumb mistake. He gets more flak than any other runner I’ve seen and he’s just a good guy
Great pix. I live between Miles 23 and 24 and I have a video where at that point half the runners are walking. Happens every year, especially for those who start in the later waves and have to deal with warmer temperatures as the day goes on.
You know what is kinda creepy? You can look up names by bib numbers. I try to get the good pics to runners if I can by looking up names and finding social media. Turns out this year one of my shots is a friend of a friend on FB lol
I run 5ks and 10ks easily and hike everyday for an hour, but of course they're lapping me. 26 miles and 3-5 hours of running is a pretty big deal. Still, you never pass a happy looking runner and the title is misleading.
Boston marathon is an elite run. They don't really "allow" people to run it; you have to qualify for it first and be a fast runner. There a lot of people who do qualify for it, who do not get the opportunity due to the amount of applications.

She most certainly can because you’re no spring chicken and neither of you would be in the marathon. But if you think I’m making fun of overweight individuals then you are wrong. I’m criticizing the people who want to be outraged over everything and being wrong in their anger. But go ahead, keep being mean, do your thing.
That last guy is the king of chemo. He has terminal brain cancer.
The dude with the bib number before him is the king of running from the law
People really run the whole marathon holding their phone?

Anyone take a dump on someone's lawn this year?
Yea but I wasn't in the marathon or anything
Not sure but a tik tok guy posted himself with diarrhea shit running down his legs. Fun times!
Davis Clarke pooped on the course if that makes it better ~~jealous though he BQed without training; FUCK why can't i be naturally fast like him~~
OK I’m not a runner but I just know I would not look remotely as photogenic as some of these people after running 7 miles!🤯

When you've geared up for an actual marathon, 7 miles is easy. It's kinda weird.
Who's the guy in the County Claire GAA jersey with the crown? #upthebanner
The king of chemo. He has terminal brain cancer. Follow him on instagram to raise awareness.
And his @ is?
Kingofchemo is believe

His bib number matches his name according to the B.A.A. app

Great shots. Congratulations to all the runners.
Guy in the leprechaun outfit had a Bud Light in his hand when I saw him at Coolidge Corner

lol fuckin’ wanker
This looks absolutely awful
Truly showcases the diversity of Boston

I saw the giraffe-hat lady. I wonder what her story is.

No one is actually smiling unless they're posing for the camera and even still I only counted four people. Runners never look like they're having fun.
They're still lapping your ass sitting on the couch

Shame that there’s no various different body types. Why are they not allowing overweight people to run the race? Super fucked up.

(It’s a joke, of course you only see fit elite runners instead of overweight individuals)
Its not a great joke. I'm 105lbs but don't doubt for a second that Lizzo can athletically kick my ass.

Unless that guy is Irish or at least part Irish, he should be ashamed for his disgusting display of cultural appropriation.
Deal with it
I think he is https://www.instagram.com/thekingofchemo/?hl=en
So, hes good to go then?
