Half Marathon Heroes: Past Champions Return to Boston
A wealth of talent is getting ready to descend on the streets and neighborhoods of Boston for the B.A.A. Half Marathon presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Before they packed their cases, we asked three of them to tell us about their reparations ahead of the half and their thoughts on coming back to Boston.
Defending men’s champion, Geoffrey Koech from Kenya:
It feels very nice to be coming back to Boston, knowing that I am the reigning champion. I have trained specifically for this year now that I know the course.
