Over 30,000 runners raced the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish line on Boylston Street in the 127th Boston Marathon on Monday, one decade after the bombings that killed three and injured hundreds near the finish line.
Despite the 38 degree rainy weather and a headwind of 10 miles per hour on Monday, 30,087 participants — runners, wheelchairs and hand cyclists — were signed up to participate in the 122nd Boston Marathon.
