The Boston Marathon: 10 Years Later a City Remembers and Moves Forward

The Boston Marathon, the oldest annual marathon in the world, held its 127th running on April 17, 2023. The marathon is a big celebration in the city of Boston and feels like a giant block party where the city welcomes the arrival of spring and cheers on the athletes who have journeyed from all over the world to run in this storied race. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the tragic bombings that occurred on April 15, 2013 and despite the day’s festivities, the memory of those events loomed large in everyone’s minds. On that fateful day, two bombs went off near the finish line, killing three people and injuring over 260 others. The event left an indelible mark on the Boston Marathon and the city of Boston. <a href="https://medium.com/@cnagrath/the-boston-marathon-10-years-later-a-city-remembers-and-moves-forward-7c40242b17e0">Visit Now</a>
