Barry Keane (Boston, Mass.): Keane, who is originally from Waterford, Ireland, now trains in Boston. He finished 9th in the 2024 Boston Half. This will be his first Boston Marathon. He was a four-time Big East champion in the 10,000m run during his college days at Butler and finished seventh in the event at the 2023 NCAA championships.

If you're in any of those categories, here's how you can watch the Marathon on Monday, April 21, from home or elsewhere: Live coverage of the Boston Marathon will exclusively air on WCVB-TV beginning at 4 a.m.

The unsanctioned race loops through Dorchester, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain and Roxbury. Run crews and community members gather to cheer on runners of all skill levels. And everyone gets to break the finish line tape.
