Marcel Hug of Switzerland blitzed to the front of the field to win his eighth Boston Marathon wheelchair title, claiming the victory in the 129th edition of the race in 1 hour, 21 minutes, 34 seconds.

The Boston Marathon was back to a full field and back in the spring for the first time since 2019, and fans along the course threw a coming-out party for a region recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

A pair of familiar faces made it to top of the winner’s stand in the wheelchair division of the 126th Boston Marathon.

Boston Marathon organizers say the 2022 race won't return to the pre-pandemic full field size of more than 30,000 runners.
