More than 30,000 runners are taking on Monday’s Boston Marathon in about as good of conditions as they could ask for: cool temperatures, a mix of clouds and sun, and a brisk tailwind — all ingredients for fast times.

Ahead of the 130th running of the world’s most prestigious 26.2-mile race, we identified more than 200 entrants from across the Charlotte region, ranging in age from 20 to 70. We’ll be tracking all of them throughout the day and will recognize each below (listed alphabetically) as official results become available.

Erin Del Giudice, 32, a former Davidson College runner who is now a stay-at-home mom mom in Charlotte, was by far the fastest finisher among area women at Boston. As a member of the professional women’s field, she ran a 2:33:54, a mark that easily qualified her for her second U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon and was 24th among the pros.

The top area men’s finishers were all from Charlotte: Brenden Allen, who ran 2:22:49; Carter Coughlin, who finished in 2:26:23; and Dan Kerr, with a 2:33:26. The fastest amateur women were Kelsey McGuire (of Tega Cay, S.C.) in 2:52:17; Olive Allen (of Charlotte) in 2:52:19; and Sara Kenefick (also of Charlotte), who finished in 2:52:54.

It’s also worth noting that Murphy Smith — a graduate of Charlotte’s Ardrey Kell High School who is now a Navy officer in a master’s program at Boston College — completed Boston as part of the event’s professional men’s field in 2:08:58. The time was good for 23rd place. The 23-year-old’s hometown is listed as Boston due to his ties to a training group there, but he told The Charlotte Observer this month that he would have preferred to claim Charlotte as his homeown.

Remember to check back throughout the day to see how your friends, neighbors and co-workers fared.
