The Boston MarathonPaperback, 6 April 2009

Since 1897, Patriots Day in Massachusetts has been celebrated with the running of the world's most-honored road race, the Boston Marathon(R). The hilly course challenges runners with well-known landmarks such as Heartbreak Hill and the deceptively inviting downhill treks at both the start and finish of the 26.2-mile journey. The Boston Marathon captures the colorful spirit of America's greatest race through more than 200 photographs.
