Jack Fleming, President and CEO of the B.A.A., also praised Boston's local runners for their outstanding performance at this year's marathon. He stated that they have once again proven why Boston is known as the City of Champions.

The Boston Marathon is not only a prestigious event for elite runners from around the world but also a platform to celebrate hometown talent. This is why for two consecutive years now, Boston residents with the fastest finish times have been awarded with commemorative glass bowls engraved with "Fastest Bostonian."

Last year's inaugural Fastest Bostonian Award went to three deserving runners from Boston - Vinny Castronuovo from South End for fastest man with a time of 2:25:56, Shannon Lamarre from Charlestown for fastest woman with a time of 2:54:34, and Danielle Bishop from Allston, the first non-binary Bostonian to participate in the race.

The reception to honor this year's Fastest Bostonians will be announced soon. As the world's oldest annual marathon, the Boston Marathon continues to bring together elite runners and inspire local talent to push themselves to their limits. Congratulations to all participants and especially to Dr. Miles Batty, Arianna Maida, and Nonie Anderson for their remarkable achievements.
