During the Boston Marathon, a runner was struggling with severe cramps just moments before the finish line. Instead of rushing ahead, another runner paused to help him. Without worrying about his own time or race, he showed kindness and compassion. This act of humanity reminded everyone that true sportsmanship is about caring for others, especially when they need it most.
Every year, the Boston Marathon honors the victims of the 2013 bombing, remembering those affected by the tragedy. Acts of kindness, like the runner helping another in need, serve as proof that humanity still exists, even in a world that often feels more divided than ever. These moments remind us that compassion and solidarity can bring people together and inspire hope.
Boston Marathon gives us an special and human moment as a runner was helped to end the race
Kenyan runner John Korir made history at the Boston Marathon, winning with an incredible time of 2:04:44-the second-fastest time ever recorded in the race. He came close to breaking the record set by fellow Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, who finished in 2:03:03 back in 2011. Korir’s performance proves once again that Kenya dominates long-distance running with speed and endurance.
In the women’s race, Kenyan athlete Sharon Lokedi smashed the Boston Marathon record with a stunning time of 2:17:22, beating the previous record held by Ethiopian runner Buzunesh Deba since 2014. Lokedi’s victory highlights the incredible talent of Kenyan women in marathon racing, pushing limits and setting new benchmarks.
The Boston Marathon began on April 19, 1897, and was first called the American Marathon. It was created after the exciting marathon race at the 1896 Athens Olympics, the first modern Olympic Games. The success of that event inspired the U.S. to start its own legendary race.
Today, the Boston Marathon holds a special title-it’s the oldest annual marathon in the world. For over 125 years, runners from across the globe have competed in this historic race, making it one of the most prestigious events in sports.
The Boston Marathon is traditionally held on Patriots’ Day, a Massachusetts state holiday that originally took place every year on April 19th, regardless of the day of the week. However, in 1969, the holiday was moved to the third Monday of April-and the marathon followed, now permanently fixed to this long weekend date. This change made the event more accessible for runners and spectators alike, while keeping its deep historical roots.
