Boston Marathon 2021: Here's How Eagan Runners Did

EAGAN, MN — The 2021 Boston Marathon was Monday, which means runners from Eagan made their 26.2-mile journey from Hopkinton to the famed Boylston Street finish line in Boston.

To track a particular runner, go to the Boston Athletic Association's tracker. You can search participants via electronic chips if you have their bib number, name or city/town they are from.

This year, the marathon had staggered start times.

The 2021 Boston Marathon for the first time took place in the fall, pushed back six months from its traditional April date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Boston Marathon was postponed before being canceled, the first time the race didn't take place in its 124-year history (though there was a virtual event.)

The Marathon returned with a reduced field of fewer than 20,000 runners — the usual amount is over 30,000. Those running didn't need to wear masks on the course, but did to enter any medical tents or other facilities; Boston has an indoor mask mandate in effect. Runners needed to be vaccinated or have a recent negative COVID-19 test.

Here are the Eagan runners that participated:

• Adam Burnett, 41 (Time unknown)
• David Holmen, 60 (4:48:41)
• John Rollie, 51 (3:26:12)
• Jenny Jaakola, 56 (4:08:20)
• Jody Nelson, 57 (4:16:38)
