The number of Boston Marathon entrants from Watertown has spiked a year after the bombing at the finish line and events that culminated in the shootout with and stopping of the bombing suspects in town.
In 2012, 38 Watertown residents ran the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Copley Square in Boston (Ed. Note: I could not find the 2013 numbers but they were similar). This year 76 town residents are running, according to the Boston Athletic Association. In addition, a dozen Watertown Police officers (including 5 from the list of town residents) and one Watertown Firefighter are running the race.
You can track your family, friends and neighbors on the BAA website by clicking here. The race will be televised by WBZ Channel 4. Wheelchair athletes start at 9:15 a.m., elite women runners at 9:32 a.m., elite men and wave 1 at 10 a.m., wave 2 at 10:25 a.m., waver 3 at 11 a.m. and wave 4 at 11:25 a.m.
These runners are from Watertown or are on the Police and Fire Departments:
