(DECEMBER 12, 2023) The winning of the Boston Marathon’s newly created nonbinary division in April by Kae Ravichandran, medical class of 2025, made NBC5’s list of “the stories we loved the most in Vermont and New York in 2023.”
After failing to finish the 2022 Boston Marathon, the University of Vermont medical student not only completed the race in 2023, but also made history with a blazing 2 hour, 38 minute race.
The new division reflects the Boston Marathon’s goal for a more inclusive race, offering a division for any runner who doesn’t identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. Twenty-seven runners in this year’s race participated in the new division.
With this year nearly at its end, NBC5 is looking back on some of the most positive, reaffirming, and joyous stories of 2023 in Vermont and the North Country. In a year filled with historic flooding and other breaking news, Vermonters and New Yorkers also shared stories of resilience, of love, and of triumph across our region.
