Background

The marathon returned to its traditional Patriots' Day schedule for the first time since 2019. All participants were required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.^[1]

Lawrence Cherono and Benson Kipruto, both from Kenya, were among the elite runners expected to compete.^[3][4]

On April 6, race organizers announced that runners residing in Russia or Belarus would not be allowed to participate, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[5] That decision subsequently drew criticism from an editorial in The Boston Globe.^[6]
