About 36,000 people are expected to run the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Eighteen of those Runners are from East Greenwich.
The marathon is expected to be an emotion-filled event following last year's bombings. Officials have instituted a host of security measures. And unlike in previous years, unregistered "bandit" runners will be prohibited.
