This year's Boston marathon caused quite some commotion. The world's oldest annual marathon was held in perfect conditions for setting fast times. The man's race was won by Geoffrey Mutai in a stellar time of 2.03.02. Although not officially a world record, it is still the fastest time ever.

A classic marathon like the Boston marathon draws elite runners from all over the world. But not just elite runners: over 27000 athletes took part in this event. The fastest overall times were set by the wheelchair racers.

All athletes, including the wheelchair racers, were timed by MYLAPS BibTag system. The organization of the Boston Marathon, The Boston Athletic Association were impressed with the system performance and the complete timing team. High quality timing, ease of use and the good reputation of the MYLAPS brand aided to the continuing success of the Boston Marathon.
