FRAMINGHAM – Today, October 11, was the 125th running of the Boston Marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last marathon was run in April 2019. The Coronavirus pandemic cancelled the 2020 marathon, and pushed back the 2021 marathon from Patriots’ Day to Columbus Day\/Indigenous Peoples Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The field for the in-person Boston Marathon today was limited to 20,000, but that did include all 22 members of Team Framingham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Framingham founder Mike Bower was among the 70,000 runners who did the Boston Marathon virtually between October 8 and October 10. Bower ran the actual course to complete his 25th marathon lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bower told SOURCE that all 22 Team Framingham runners cross the finished line today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
