118th Boston Marathon Underway

Elite Men are finishing the first 3 downhill miles and nearing the 5K.

 Watch the race online at watchlive.baa.org.

As usual, (click here) the path for the 2014 Boston Marathon will be a 26.2-mile excursion that finishes on Boylston Street in Copley Square. Over 36,000 runners have registered to participate in the Boston Marathon this year. Only the 1996 Boston Marathon had more runners. The Boston Globe reported that over 1 million people are expected to turn out to watch the event this year, twice the usual number. After last year's tragedy, security is expected to be heightened.
