John Korir fell just seconds after the 2025 Boston Marathon began in Hopkinton. While others ran ahead, he was on the ground and the race looked over. But he got up quickly, found his pace, and worked his way back. By the final stretch, he was leading the race. At the finish line, his brother Wesley Korir was waiting. Thirteen years after Wesley’s 2012 win, John followed him, turning pain into a powerful family story.
