Tens of thousands of runners, including some of the world’s best, crowded into Boston on a cold, lightly rainy Monday for the 119th running of the Boston Marathon.
Security was high near the start line in Hopkinton, along the 26.2 mile (42.16 km) course and around the finish line in Boston, in recognition of the bombing of the 2013 race, which killed three people and injured 264 in the one of the most visible attacks on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

London Marathon carries on, keeping Boston top of mind
The London Marathon began with a moment of silence for the victims in the Boston Marathon bombings. Many displayed ribbons of support or signs with sayings like “Run for Boston” or “4.15.13,” the date of the Boston race. About 35,000 runners took part in the race with thousands of spectators watching on. Race organizers say the police presence was boosted by 40 percent as a precaution, according to Reuters. Several dollars will be donated to The One Fund Boston for each London Marathon finisher.
Maryland’s own Tatyana McFadden was the first across the line in the women’s wheelchair division, just six days after coming in first in the Boston Marathon. Her official time is listed as 01:46:02, a record mark. McFadden has said that she hopes to win the Boston, London, New York and Chicago marathons in the same year.
