Boston Marathon Postponed

[RedOctober3829]

It does not appear the Boston Marathon will be held on Patriots Day this year.

According to multiple reports, the race will not take place on Monday, April 20 due to coronavirus, and it's now possible it is held on a Monday in September instead. The race has never been canceled or postponed in its 124-year history.

WCVB in Boston was first to report the news.

That's what the reporting says, but in 1918, they cancelled the marathon and staged a relay race (among military service divisions).

So much for that as today the Globe reported it's officially canceled.
