Marathon Falls Victim To Pandemic

For the first time since its inception, there will be no Boston Marathon.

Coronavirus has caused the organizers to cancel this year's running of the Marathon, saying a virtual event will take place instead.

It had already been postponed from its original date of April 20th to September 14th.

However, Mayor Marty Walsh says it's clear that because of the ongoing COVID 19 crisis the September date was becoming less plausible.
