Boston is marking the 10-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. The 2013 race was interrupted when two backpack bombs exploded steps from the finish line.
The fastest and most-decorated elite field ever to assemble in Hopkinton is getting ready to cross the start line for the 127th Boston Marathon on Monday.
About 30,000 athletes will run 26.2 miles to Copley Square in Boston. A light drizzle has made for wet roads at the start and runners could be facing a headwind. The temperature is expected to be in the low 50s.Saturday marks 10 years since the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Marc Fucarile was critically injured in the second explosion. He joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to share his story of survival.
"How you run it is as important, if not more important, than how fast you run it," he said. "Of course you need a fast time in order to win, but at the same time, you don’t necessarily want to take it out and try to run the whole race all by yourself. Some might. Who knows? We’ll see today." This year’s race includes members of the One Fund community — survivors of the 2013 attack, along with friends and family of the victims and those raising money for related causes.
