2018 Boston Marathon: 31 From Braintree To Run

BRAINTREE, MA — This ain't just a race. For some, it's a personal triumph, a culmination of a turning point in their lives. Others run in memory of a loved one whose life was robbed by cancer, Alzheimer's, ALS or another deadly disease. Some train for weeks just to bring attention to autism, bullying or animal cruelty.

Others are professional runners who are in it to win it.

Whatever the reason, it's a big deal to get there, and an even bigger deal to finish that race - the one - The Boston Marathon, which covers 26.2 miles from the Hopkinton starting line through the Boston route.
