One week after explosions erupted at the finish line of the Boston Marathon area runners are honoring the victims in the best way they know how–by running.
Two events are being held Monday night in Harrisburg and York for people looking to show support for those affected by the Boston Marathon attacks.
The event in Harrisburg will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Front Street. Runners will meet at Front and State Streets to run across the Harvey Taylor Bridge and back. Participants are encouraged to wear blue and yellow–the colors of the Boston Marathon–or any race tee shirt. For more information about the event, go to Bridge Run for Boston.
