Boston Marathon Tracker: How To Follow Friends, Family Members Running In 2017 Race

Spring finally has sprung, and the unofficial kickoff comes Monday with the 121st running of the Boston Marathon.

Friends and families of runners can follow their progress up to the minute with the BAA’s live marathon tracker.
