Boston Marathon 2026 Elite Field Breakdown (Women + Men) | Early Predictions & American Spotlight

The 2026 Boston Marathon elite fields are officially out — women announced yesterday, and the men’s field dropped today — so Michael Doyle and Alex Cyr jump in immediately with a full reaction, storylines, and way-too-early predictions.  We break down the women’s race headlined by defending champ and course record holder Sharon Lokedi, the deep U.S. contingent (including Emily Sisson and Fiona O’Keeffe), plus the biggest question mark: the missing rivalry piece that could’ve made this race absolute fireworks.  Then we pivot to the men’s field, where John Korir returns to defend, Benson Kipruto arrives with the fastest PB in the field, and the American lineup is loaded — Conner Mantz, Clayton Young, Galen Rupp, CJ Albertson, and more. We make our picks for the win, top American, and a dark horse you should not ignore.  👉 Also: watch our latest episode of The Running Story — our weekly running news podcast + video.
