If you didn’t catch the end of the Boston Marathon, you missed out on one heck of a finish at Boylston Street.
Lawrence Cherono and Lelisa Desisa were side by side as the headed toward the finish line of the 26.2-mile race, with Desisa trying to put on the gas for a last-second victory.

Luckily, there’s video of the incredible sequence at the end of the men’s race, which was unbelievably close.
The photos from the end are similarly amazing:
