Happy Boston Marathon weekend! The 123rd running of this prestigious event, one of the six World Marathon Majors, is happening on Monday.
We’ve got a bounty of coverage for your pre-race reading:
Matthew Futterman wrote about Sarah Sellers, who finished second in the women’s race last year. Futterman, whose book “Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits and the Guru who Unlocked the Secrets of Speed” comes out in June, is also moderating a chat at the Boston Marathon expo on Sunday at 1 p.m. with two past marathon champions, Greg Meyer and Jack Fultz. And he’s running himself on Monday — good luck Matt!
I wrote about Derek Murphy, a financial analyst who catches people who cheat in races, particularly looking for those who cheat to get into the Boston Marathon.
