Galen Rupp will run his third career marathon in Boston on April 17, and he’ll be joined by four other members of the U.S. Olympic marathon team from Rio.
All three 2016 U.S. Olympic men’s marathoners — Rupp, Meb Keflezighi and Jared Ward — are in the Boston Marathon field. As are two of the three female Olympians — Shalane Flanagan and Desi Linden.
The only member of the 2016 U.S. Olympic marathon team not in the Boston field is Olympic Trials winner Amy Cragg.
