Breaking down all the 2025 Boston Marathon winners
The 2025 Boston Marathon got underway at 9:06 a.m. ET and the first winner has crossed the finish line on Boylston Street near Copley Square. Swiss wheelchair racer Marcel Hug was the first person to finish as he claimed his eighth Boston Marathon title. He finished the race with a time of 1:21:34.
This victory marked his third straight win and moved him a little closer to Ernst van Dyk’s record ten titles. He finished a couple minutes after wave 2 of the runners got started. Waves 3 and 4 had not even started their races when Hug crossed the finish line.
The first American was also the second athlete of the day to cross the finish line. Daniel Romanchuk finished second with a time of 1:25:58. This marked his third straight runner-up finish behind Hug. Romanchuk won the men’s wheelchair division in 2022 and 2019.
The first woman to cross the finish line was American Susannah Scaroni. She claimed her second victory in three years, winning the women’s wheelchair race in 1:35:20.
We’ll be updating this with all the division winners and fastest Americans as the day continues.
