Desisa and Rotich win the 119th Boston Marathon | News Article

Ethiopia’s Lelisa Desisa has won the 119th Boston Marathon for his second title at the race in three years.

This comes on the eve of the sentencing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who was found guilty for his role in the bombings which rocked the marathon in 2013.
 
Desisa won the 42-kilometre race in a time of two hours, nine minutes and 17 seconds, finishing more than a half a minute ahead of runner-up and compatriot Yemane Adhane Tsegay who clocked 2 hours nine minutes and 48 seconds.
 
Kenya’s Caroline Rotich won the women's title in a time of 2 hours 24 minutes and 55 seconds in wet and windy conditions.
 
South Africa’s Ernst van Dyk came second in the wheelchair race in a time of 1 hours, 36 minutes and 27 seconds.
