The 2022 Boston Marathon field, which marks the 50th anniversary of the first official women’s race in 1972, is expected to be highlighted by Tokyo Olympic marathon gold medalist Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya, who is making her Boston Marathon debut, and Tokyo Olympic Bronze Medalist Molly Seidel of the United States. The women’s field is also expected to feature former winners American Des Linden (2018) and Edna Kiplagat (2017) of Kenya, as well as Kenyan Joyciline Jepkosgei.
The men’s field is expected to be headlined by seven of the past eight Boston Marathon winners, including reigning champion Benson Kipruto of Kenya, Kenya’s Lawrence Cherono (2019), Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi (2018), Kenya’s Geoffrey Kirui (2017), and Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu (2016) and Lelisa Desisa (2015 and 2013).
