The 128th Boston Marathon is on Monday April 15 as tens of thousands of runners head to Massachusetts for one of the most famous Marathons in the world. 

The race features a wide array of athletes from amateurs to pros and even para athletes. On the women's side, the field is historically fast among the professional ranks. Defending champions Hellen Obiri (women's open) and Susannah Scaroni (wheelchair) are among the field. And that is a field of women runners that include 19 with personal bests under 2 hours and 23 minutes.
