The 127th Boston Marathon kicked off on a soggy Monday morning, with over 30,000 qualified runners worldwide taking part in the historic event. 

The 2023 Boston Marathon is significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. The resilience and determination of the city and its runners was on full display as participants took on the challenging 26.2-mile course, honoring those affected by the tragic events of a decade ago.
