Boston Marathon

Notable participants in the 2024 Boston Marathon include a Michelin-starred chef and a Bruins legend.

It will be hard to spot a face in the crowd of 30,000 participants at the 2024 Boston Marathon on Monday. But if you search hard enough, you may spy a couple of famous figures along the 26.2-mile race course.

Not including grand marshal Rob Gronkowski, the notable competitors who took part in Marathon Monday included a celebrity chef, a Bruins Stanley Cup winner, and many athletes who played an important part in Boston Marathon history.

Here are the finishing times (courtesy the B.A.A. racing app) for the bold-faced names running the 2024 Boston Marathon.

(Note: This list will be updated with as racers finish.)

2024 Boston Marathon notable finishing times

Carl Dooley (3:03:15)

James Beard-nominated chef Carl Dooley (Mooncusser, Moon Bar) ran the 2024 Boston Marathon with a time of 3:03:15, averaging a pace of seven minutes per mile.

Meb Keflezighi (3:08:58)

Wearing bib number 2014 to commemorate the his victory in the 2014 Boston Marathon, Keflezighi, 48, finished the 2024 Boston Marathon with a time of 3:08:58.

After crossing the finish line shortly after 1:10 p.m., Keflezighi told WCVB that the higher-than-expected temperatures made running the race more difficult.

“Today it was a struggle,” Keflezighi said. “I felt the humidity. It was 98 percent.”

Nevertheless, Keflezighi said the crowds and fellow runners kept him motivated.

“There were a lot of people cheering me on,” Keflezighi said. “It was a great atmosphere.”

Zdeno Chara (3:30:52)

The Boston Bruins legend bested his 2023 Boston Marathon time (3:38:23), finishing the 2024 Boston Marathon with a time of 3:30:52.

Chara told WCVB that despite the temperatures, he had a blast during the race.

“The fans were so loud and cheering us on,” Chara said. “It was an amazing day. I enjoyed it very much.”

Chara also confirmed that he will continue his quest to finish all of the Big Six marathons (Boston, Berlin, Chicago, London, New York, Tokyo) by running the London Marathon this weekend, only six days after Marathon Monday.

“London on Sunday, that’s the plan,” Chara said.

Nicolas Kiefer (3:59:25)

Former pro tennis player Nicolas Kiefer completed his sixth and final Big Six marathon at the 2024 Boston Marathon, finishing just under four hours with an unofficial time of 3:59:25.

Kiefer, who was previously ranked No. 4 in the world tennis rankings and won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics, wrote on Instagram that he was feeling “extremely good” during his final long training run before the race.

Matt Wilpers (3:01:22)

Matt Wilpers, a fitness coach widely known for his work as a Peloton instructor, brought his can-do energy to the 2024 Boston Marathon, finishing with a time of 3:01:22.

In an interview with Boston.com, Wilpers said that running the race was both a long-time personal goal and a great opportunity to fulfill his goal as a Peloton instructor to inspire people through his own actions.

“My success is when my athletes are successful, so if I can push them to be stronger, better versions of themselves by going out and leading by example, like, I love this stuff,” Wilpers said. “I’ll have fun racing a marathon, I’ll have fun racing a 5K. Whatever it is, this is what I do for fun. And so if this is going to get people excited, let’s go do it.”

Notable competitors yet to finish the Marathon

Daniel Humm

Daniel Humm, a highly decorated celebrity chef who runs the triple Michelin Star-winning Eleven Madison Park in New York City, will be looking to improve on his time from the 2023 Boston Marathon, when he ran a 2:58:53.

An avid runner and cyclist, Humm has completed multiple marathons over the years.

Ambrose “Amby” Burfoot was an elite marathoner in the 1960s and ’70s, winning the race in 1968. Burfoot was destined for Boston Marathon greatness, training in high school under 1957 Boston Marathon winner John J. Kelley and rooming in college with four-time Boston Marathon winner Bill Rodgers.

Burfoot, 77, will be wearing the bib number 1968 in honor of his milestone victory 56 years ago.

Dave McGillivray

For years, Boston Marathon race course director Dave McGillivray was consistently the last runner to finish the race. That’s not because he’s slow — his personal best time is 2:29:58 — but because he was too busy overseeing every aspect of the race to compete until well after most runners already crossed the finish line.

This time around, McGillivray will run his 52nd Boston Marathon during the day. After seeing off the first two waves of open division runners, McGillivray will perform his typical race course director duties from the middle of the scrum instead up front on a motor scooter as he has done for the past few decades.

“The field of runners I will experience in the race in a couple of weeks will be five times larger than it was the last time I ran the Boston Marathon during the day,” McGillivray said in an email. “The energy and the crowds will be eclectic and seeing the race on two feet rather than two wheels will give me a special perspective.”

Chris Nikic

Chris Nikic was only 22 years old when he finished his first Boston Marathon in 2021, but he had already completed a number of athletic milestones. Nikic is the first person with Down Syndrome to complete the Hawaii Ironman, and has already completed the Big Six marathons. Now, Nikic is trying to lower his Boston time in 2024, aiming for a 5:35 during his third time running the race.

“Last long run (20 miles) before @bostonmarathon next weekend and @londonmarathon in 2 weeks,” Nikic wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “Looking to see if I can do better each marathon.”

Phoebe Robinson

Comedian Phoebe Robinson, best known for his podcast (and subsequent HBO series) “2 Dope Queens,” is running her first Boston Marathon. The stand-up comic is raising money for (RED), a nonprofit dedicated to fighting AIDS.

William Evans

Former Boston Police Department superintendent William “Bill” Evans will be running his 21st Boston Marathon in 2024. Evans lead BPD operations in 2013 during the manhunt for the Tsarnaev brothers following the Marathon bombing.

According to BC News, the 2024 Boston Marathon is Evans’ 54th marathon overall.

Chris Tanaka

WBZ-TV anchor Chris Tanaka is one of at least three local news personalities running the 2024 Boston Marathon. Along with Zdeno Chara, Tanaka is running for Team Hoyt.

“Every year, we’d see Dick and Rick Hoyt bravely competing, simultaneously telling the world ‘yes, you can!’ to any challenge, goal or dream,” Tanaka said on his fundraising page. “Sometimes your reality is bigger than your dreams.”

Emily Maher

A general assignment reporter for WCVB, Maher is running the Boston Marathon for the first time in support of The Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, “an organization that provides a safe and supportive environment for young people to learn and grow,” she said on a fund-raiser website. Maher said she is “beyond excited.”

Tevin Wooten

The 2024 Boston Marathon is the first marathon for Tevin Wooten, a meteorologist for NBC10 Boston and NECN.

“My training has very much been a source of therapy,” Wooten wrote on Instagram. “Despite the physical motion of running, these runs are often the calmest points of my week.”
