Episode Description

The Boston Marathon is this Monday! 30,000 people will run it - most of them having to run a fast time or BQ to get there. Why is the race such a big deal? What's the history behind it? What are the options for getting into Boston? And who are some of the "celebrities" running it this time?

We have some answers about the legendary sporting event. And you'll hear from 8 previous "Run The Race" podcast guests who have some stories, opinions about The Boston Marathon after running it, including one marathon queen who crossed the finish line just minutes before the 2013 bombing there.
