Where can I get “Boston Marathon” 2009 race results ?
It’s Marathon Monday in Boston. This morning, twenty five thousand runners took to the streets of Hopkinton, on a marathon course that ran through Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, and Brighton, on a 26.2 mile route into Boston, with a finish line in Copley Square. Hundreds of thousands of cheering fans lined the streets as 2009 Boston Marathon participants passed by, making their way downhill and uphill (rinsed and repeated), through neighborhoods and business districts, enduring Heartbreak Hill, and relying on both internal and external motivation, as they reached the homestretch, and finally the finish. It was the 113th Boston Marathon, and 2009 Live Boston Marathon coverage was broadcast locally via Channel 4 Boston CBS station WBZ (wbztv.com), while globally Boston Marathon Live Video Deriba Merga of Ethiopia won the Mens division with at time of 2:08:42, Daniel Rono of Kenya placed 2nd with a time of 2:09:32, and Ryan Hall of California placed 3rd with a time of 2:0
Olympic marathoner and American half marathon record holder Ryan Hall will compete in the Boston Marathon for the first time in his career on April 20, 2009, where he’ll attempt to become the first American winner of the race since Greg Meyer in 1983. The fastest U.S. marathoner in 2007 and 2008, Hall is a 2005 Stanford graduate and three time All American. In late 2006, he set the American 20 km record at the World Championships, and in early 2007 broke the 21-year old American half marathon record at the U.S. Championships. His 59:43 win marked the first time an American had ever broken the one-hour barrier. Sources: http://coachjoeenglish.wordpress.
