Standalone | Runners celebrate Patriots' Day with 26-mile run

A pair of runners participate in the 112th running of the Boston Marathon, which took place yesterday as the city celebrated Patriots' Day. For the third consecutive year, Kenya's Robert Cheruiyot took the men's race, clocking in at a time of 2:07:46. The victory made Cheruiyot just the fourth man ever to win at least four Boston Marathons. The women's race provided much more drama, as Ethiopia's Dire Tune and Russia's Alevtina Biktimirova battled to the closest finish ever. Racing for the first time at the Boston Marathon, Tune picked up the victory by just two seconds despite running into a camera vehicle on one of the final turns.
