BOSTON (WHDH) -
Winners in all four categories have crossed the finish line in the 119th Boston Marathon.
Marcel Hug, of Switzerland, is the winner of the men's wheelchair division. This is Hug's first win in Boston. The 28-year-old finished fourth last year. American Tatiana McFadden is the winner of the women's wheelchair division. The Illinois native was racing as part of Team MR8, who are competing in honor of Boston Marathon bombing victim, 8-year-old Martin Richard.
Lelisa Desisa, of Ethiopia, is the men's winner of the Boston Marathon. He finished the course with a time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 17 seconds. Desisa was also the winner in 2013, when he gave his medal back to the city in honor of the bombing victims.
Kenyan Caroline Rotich has been crowned the women's winner of the Boston Marathon. Rotich crossed the finish line with a race time of 2 hours, 24 minutes and 56 seconds.
This year's marathon fell on a cold and windy day, with temperatures in the 40s and a threat of rain. Medical volunteers were ready at the finish line with wheelchairs, prepared to help any runners suffering from hypothermia.
"They're going to be really cold," said medical volunteer Beth Wolfe. "It's not like the past years where we worry about heat."
Security is also tight along the route. Police officers and undercover officers are on hand and bags are being searched. Bomb-sniffing dogs have done several sweeps of the area by the finish line. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said technology is also being put to use, as cameras and even drones are being used to look out for any threats.
