10 Islanders Running in Boston Marathon

Cheer on your friends and neighbors who are tackling one of the hardest marathon courses in the country.

It's Marathon Monday and for most people that means watching the marathon and Sox on TV, kicking back and relaxing on a day off. 

But, for a select few—besides the Red Sox—it means going up against one of the biggest challenges ever. I'm not only talking about Heartbreak Hill, but the entire marathon, one of the toughest in the country.
