It is Marathon Monday, with the 122nd running of the Boston Marathon currently underway. The race can be seen on NBC Sports and local CBS affiliates. The race officially kicked off at 8:30 a.m. ET before the Elite Women’s group, led by last year’s winner Edna Kiplagat of Kenya, began their run at 9:32 a.m. ET. The Elite Men’s group kicked off at 10:00 a.m. ET.
Every year, the race attracts more than 500,000 spectators, with many of the world’s elite runners making their way through the course.
This year, the weather is an issue with a downpour impacting the Boston area, but that didn’t stop the athletes from lacing up their shoes and competing.
If you are inside staying warm, you can still enjoy the race by checking out a number of live streaming options.
