WHEELCHAIR DIVISION WINNER: Daniel Romanchuk finished first in the Boston Marathon's men's wheelchair division.
About 30,000 runners hit the pavement Monday in the 126th Boston Marathon. The historic race takes place once again on Patriots Day this year after the COVID-19 pandemic pushed last year's marathon back to October.
The number of runners expected in the spring of 2022 rose from a dip of about 20,000 in-person competitors who ran in the fall of 2021. Before runners kick off their 26.2-mile journey Monday, they head to Hopkinton via buses waiting for them in the Boston Common. The wheelchair divisions kicked off shortly after 9 a.m., followed by the elite fields. Eleven former champions are competing.
Twenty-three-year-old American Daniel Romanchuk won the men's wheelchair division with an unofficial time of 1:26:57. He previously won the Boston Marathon in 2019.
