06 May Racing Toward The Day All Kids Have Access To Clean Water

The Boston Marathon has always been one of the most prestigious of the major marathons since it began, April 19, 1897. This year, runners from all over the world stepped their way along the same winding, 42.2km course the marathon has followed for many decades.

Race day April 18 was filled with powerful memories because of bombings at the finish line three years ago. This year, security was extensive with police from several towns and the National Guard patrolling the course.
