Boston Bombing Survivors Finish Last Mile of Race
Early Saturday morning runners joined survivors of the Boston Bombing and ran OneRun a race from Kenmore Square to the final finish line the Boston Marathon to not only honor the victims and emergency workers who came to their aid but also reclaim the strength and victory of Boston.
According to ESPN Boston, marathon organizer Kathleen McGonagle said that, "OneRun honors victims and emergency workers and allows runners to reclaim the final mile."
Runners from all over crossed the newly painted finish line. However, even as Boston rebuilds, authorities are still discovering and searching for more information into why the Boston Bombings occurred.
On Wednesday, an FBI agent shot and killed Ibragim Todashev a close friend of Dzhokar Tsarnaev one of the accused Boston bombers. As Boston focuses its efforts on rebuilding the city authorities are still piecing together the reasons behind the multiple attacks planned by the Tsarnaev brothers.
