The oldest annual marathon in the world is almost here! The 127th Boston Marathon will welcome world record holders, first-time racers, and 30,000+ people in between to the starting line in Hopkinton, Massachusetts before they begin the 26-mile trek across eastern Massachusetts to the famous Boylston Street finish line. Both the men’s and women’s pro fields feature historic firsts and legendary talent, as well as an early preview of many of the major players in the hunt to represent Team USA at the 2024 Olympics.
In this episode, Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Dana Giordano preview all of the elite race action and share their predictions. We are also joined by 2x U.S. Champion Erika Kemp, 2:10 marathoner CJ Albertson and Brooks double amputee runner Brian Reynolds. We also share our final predictions for the race.
Most importantly, join us live on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel on Monday morning at 9 a.m. for our squad’s expert race commentary. 
The race kicks off on Monday, April 17th with a 9:37 a.m. start for the pro men, 9:47 a.m. start for the pro women, and a 10:00 a.m. start for the open race (wheelchair pros kick off a little after 9 a.m.). You can follow the action by downloading the BAA Racing app or online (live tracking link not available yet). The race will be broadcast locally on WCVB (ABC) and around the U.S. on ESPN and the ESPN app.
