The Boston Marathon is run on the third Monday in April. It was cancelled in 2020 do to the Covid epidemic. This year it was moved from April to October due to continued concerns about Covid.

On Monday, October 11, the runners were off blessed with good, if a little bit warm weather. The Day was partly cloudy with temperatures touching the high 60s. At Mile 19 by city hall in Newton (MA) the roads were lined with spectators cheering the runners on. There were water and Gatoraid stations on each side of the road and smiles were numerous on the faces of the runners and crowd. Well done Boston Athletic Association !!!
