April 18th is Patriot’s Day, which means it is time for the world’s oldest annual marathon, The Boston Marathon. To celebrate the 120th running of the marathon, we have crafted an infographic that chronicles the journey of the race through history, including tales of inspiring physical accomplishment and moments of scandalous deception.
We admire the athletes’ discipline and determination. We identify with their dedication and drive to push themselves to new, higher goals.
