"From the time the runners threw their sweatshirts into a pile at the starting line in Hopkinton, to when they triumphantly crossed the finish line in Boston...and every step in between...we had the 2008 Boston Marathon covered.
This site provides one-stop-shopping for local coverage of the Marathon. Whether you trained for months to run 26.2 miles or you stood on the sidelines and cheered on everyone who passed, this site has something for you.
On the 'Towns' page you can find information about the towns through which the Marathon traveled. On the 'Runners' page you can follow our featured runner, Jessica Pray, from training to the finish line.
But what you'll find here and nowhere else are photos and videos from every town through which the Marathon ran. Look for the town you want on the 'Galleries' page.
Congrats to all the runners, and see you next spring!"
