Marathon Explosion: Sudbury Residents, Natives Who Are OK

U.S. Army Capt. Thom Kenney of Sudbury will be on HuffPo Live Tuesday at 10 a.m. to discuss his observations of Monday's terror attack during the Boston Marathon.

Kenney told Sudbury Patch he had crossed the finish line just before the explosions happened.

"I had just passed the finish line about 2 minutes before it went off," he said in an email. "I was about 50 (feet) or so away, girls had decide(d) to cut thru the (Prudential building) or they would have been right in front of it. We're home now."

Sudbury Patch blogger Bob Cargill tweeted he was less than a mile away from the finish line when word of the explosions reached him.

"I'm about a 1/2 mile from the finish line. I'm OK," he said on Twitter. "My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of rhe explosions."

Sudbury resident Andrew Sugg, who was running for his son who is diabetic, said he crossed the finish line well before the explosions.

"I was thru the finish line about a half hour before the bombs exploded," he said in an email. "Did not even hear the blasts as they move you a few blocks away once you finish. My wife, youngest son and parents were in the stands directly across from the explosions but left a short while before the chaos. Very unnerving knowing there was reportedly a bomb underneath those stands while they were sitting and waiting for me to finish. Thankfully everyone on the JDRF team is safe but this is a very sad day for all of us who love this race and this city. We were locked down in the Marriott Copley Place for hours following the race as the entire area was under incredible police presence, with armored vehicles, bomb sniffing dogs etc. I have never seen anything like it. Still hard to believe."

Sudbury resident Thom Kenney confirmed with Sudbury Patch he and his family survived the two explosions that rocked Boston during today's Boston Marathon.

"I had just passed the finish line about 2 minutes before it went off," he said in an email. "I was about 50 (feet) or so away, girls had decide to cut thru the Pru or they would have been right in front of it. We're home now."

Sudbury Patch has received confirmation via Facebook and Twitter that these Sudbury runners are also safe:

• Christy Kirk and family are ok.
• Erin Reeves is ok.
• Tom Quirk is ok.
• Jill Valpey is ok.
• Bob Cargill is OK.
• Sarah Romaine (of Easthampton, formerly of Sudbury) is OK.
