- Runners were focused on staying dry Monday morning as they awaited the start of the 2019 Boston Marathon. Temperatures were in the 60s, far warmer than the initial winter-like weather that was expected for race day. A seasoned runner who is heading into his fourth Boston Marathon, Bersani said he came prepared with trash bags, tarps and hope. Monday is the sixth anniversary of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, and the first time the anniversary date falls on the same day as the marathon. When people think about the Boston Marathon now, they think about people coming together and overcoming adversity,” she added.
