As several of the top U.S. marathoners are putting the finishing touches on their preparations for the spring marathon season, one of the most anticipated races will be the 115th running of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon on Monday April 18.
The prime U.S. contenders in 2011 are Ryan Hall (Big Bear Lake, Calif.), who will compete in his first marathon since leaving his training group and becoming his own coach; and Kara Goucher (Portland, Ore.), who will run her first marathon since giving birth last fall. Hall finished third in Boston in 2009, running 2:09:40 and fourth last year in 2:08:41, while Goucher took third in 2009, running 2:32:25.
