Worknesh Degefa maintained a large gap between herself and the rest of the field after breaking away just four miles into the race and never allowed the pack to catch her on the way to winning the 2019 Boston Marathon in an unofficial time of 2:23.30. Degefa, 29, of Ethiopia, was ranked No. 11 in the world in the marathon.
