JUST IN: Evans Chebet of Kenya finished first in the men's division, keeping his Boston Marathon title.
. The 2013 race was interrupted when two backpack bombs exploded on Boylston Street, steps from the finish line.A light drizzle made for wet roads at the start and runners could be facing a headwind.Before the athletes who are running Monday's Boston Marathon arrived in Hopkinton, they had to catch a ride to the start line for the iconic road race. Thousands of runners took the bus from the Boston Common to the start line in Hopkinton.
Shores Salter was a 20-year-old college student when he ran toward the smoke after the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon in 2013. “How you run it is as important, if not more important, than how fast you run it,” he said. “Of course you need a fast time in order to win, but at the same time, you don’t necessarily want to take it out and try to run the whole race all by yourself. Some might. Who knows? We’ll see today.”The wheelchair divisions started shortly after 9 a.m., followed by the elite fields.
