BOSTON — After finishing third in the La Piave Marathon (One-Time Edition) in late March and his recent victory—setting an Italian record—in the 10,000-meter race at the Triveneta Track and Field Meet on April 9 in Treviso, Said Boudalia, the top Italian-Moroccan runner born in Casablanca but now based in Belluno, once again demonstrated his excellent form at the Boston Marathon, one of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors. The Oxyburn brand ambassador, who runs for the Cagliari Marathon Club and was competing in the Boston 42k for the sixth time this year, managed, despite a major slump, to finish 57th overall in 2h30′, securing an excellent second-place finish in the Masters 45 category.
