It’s been three years since the tragic bombing near the finish line, and the Boston Marathon keeps going strong.
Caroline Rotich of Kenya is back to defend her 2015 title. She is regarded as more of a contender than a favorite to win and repeat.
About 30,000 runners will take to the 26.2 mile course that ends with a straightaway down Boylston Street in downtown Boston. You can watch coverage on NBC Sports Network here:
NBCSN will handle national coverage of the race, with WBZ-TV will handle local coverage in Boston throughout the day.
