BOSTON, MA - A powerful display of the human body and, more importantly, the human spirit took place during a 26.2-mile stretch from Hopkinton to Boylston Street Monday.

The 120th running of the Boston Marathon didn't disappoint, with photo finishes soaked in drama, one country flexing its considerable muscle, and a unified global spirit that is rarely seen outside of Patriots' Day.

There was a lot going on, so here's a roundup of Patch's coverage of the Boston Marathon. Congratulations to all who participated.
