Kae Ravichandran: From Boston Marathon champion to pediatrician
1 sources · 1 reports
In 2023, Kae Ravichandran became the first nonbinary division champion of the Boston Marathon, but no one told her she had won when she crossed the finish line, there was no prize money, no podium, and the trophy was an engraved plastic vase mailed to her Vermont home two months later. Three and a half years later, an October 2026 report shows that at 28 she is already a pediatric resident at the University of Vermont and hopes to become the gender-affirming doctor she never had while growing up.
