Ernst van Dyk
Ernst van Dyk has won the Boston Marathon 10 times, more than any other athlete.

The Boston Marathon, one of six World Marathon Majors, is a Template:Convert race which has been held in the Greater Boston area in Massachusetts since 1897, making it the oldest annual marathon in the world. The event is held on Patriots' Day, which was April 19 (or April 20 if April 19 was a Sunday) until the implementation of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971. Since 1971, except in 2020 (race not held) or 2021 (Columbus Day holiday), the Boston Marathon is held on the third Monday in April. Various factors meant that until 1957 the course varied in length, due to which the marathon recognizes several course records that are slower than previous records due to being run on longer courses.<ref name="history">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="course-records">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The first Boston Marathon included only 15 runners, all of whom were men, and was won by John McDermott.<ref name="history"/> The race was cancelled twice, in 1918 because of World War I, where a ekiden-style relay was conducted of military teams, and in 2020, when Massachusetts authorities refused to allow the event to be conducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="wbur">Template:Cite news</ref>

Through the 2025 edition: overall winners (men's open division) have represented 19 different countries, with Americans having won the marathon the most, doing so on 43 occasions; Kenyans have won 26 times; and Canadians 16 times. Winners in the women's open division have represented 10 different countries: Kenyan women have won 17 races, American women have won 16 times, and Ethiopian women have won 8 times. Ernst van Dyk is the most successful individual athlete, having won the men's wheelchair division 10 times. Course records are held by Geoffrey Mutai (men), Sharon Lokedi (women), Marcel Hug (men's wheelchair), and Manuela Schär (women's wheelchair).

The course was designed to replicate the original marathon in Greece; a hilly point-to-point race, and as such has not been the venue for many world records.Template:Efn Suh Yun-bok set the only World Athletics-ratified men's open division world record in 1947, in a time of 2:25:39.<ref name="records">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="iaaf">Template:Cite book</ref> Two apparent world record times set between 1951 and 1956 by Keizo Yamada and Antti Viskari were later struck when the course was found to be over Template:Convert short.<ref name="short1">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="short2">Template:Cite book</ref> In 1975, Liane Winter took advantage of a Template:Convert following wind to set a world record in the women's open race of 2:42:24,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and eight years later, Joan Benoit beat a world record that had only been set the day before at the London Marathon, finishing in 2:22:43.<ref name="records"/> Since 1990, the Boston Marathon has been ineligible for world records, as the start and finish are too far away from each other, and the race is a net downhill.<ref name=autogenerated1>Template:Cite news</ref> In 2011, Geoffrey Mutai won the race in 2:03:02, which was the world's fastest time for the marathon, beating the official world record by 57 seconds.<ref name="nyt-fastest">Template:Cite news</ref>
