The World Marathon Majors will kick off in the U.S. on Monday as over 30,000 runners from across the globe compete in the 127th Boston Marathon. All eyes will be on Eliud Kipchoge, one of the greatest marathon runners of all time, as he attempts to win all six World Marathon Majors and break the men's course record of 2:03:02 set by Geoffrey Mutai in 2011. Kipchoge is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and marathon world record holder. However, to secure a victory and a record-breaking time, he'll have to outpace some formidable competitors, including Kenya's Evans Chebet and Benson Kipruto, who has already won the Boston Marathon in 2021. The women's race will also feature several stars, including reigning world champion Gotytom Gebreslase and rising star Amane Beriso. This year's enthusiasts will also have to brave the elements, as Meteorologists predict winds of 10 to 20 mph and a 78 percent chance of rain.

The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual marathon in the world, and the challenging 26.2-mile course runs from Hopkinton to Copley Square in Boston. The race will begin at 9:02 a.m. ET with the men's wheelchair field, followed by the women's wheelchair division at 9:05 a.m. ET. The professional men will start at 9:37 a.m. ET, and the women's race will begin at 9:47 a.m. ET. The race will be broadcast locally on WCVB Channel 5 and is scheduled to be televised nationally on ESPN, beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET.
