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.
