Wood started hiking Saturday morning at the Lafayette Campground in Lincoln "with warm temperatures and clear skies," the department said. His family contacted authorities on Tuesday morning after not hearing from Wood for two days.

"While gathering information on where to search, rescuers learned that Kent was prepared for warmer conditions and not the 3-5 inches of snow that had fallen between Sunday and Monday in the Franconia Notch area," the department said.  

A search for Wood began Tuesday morning in the Lonesome Lake and Kinsman Pond area, with an Army National Guard helicopter assisting. Conservation officers found Wood dead that evening, about 5.5 miles from his car on a remote section of the Kinsman Pond Trail.

"New Hampshire Fish and Game would like to remind hikers that it's still winter in the mountains with deep snow, cold and freeing temperatures," the department said.

Last Friday, three hikers from Haverhill, Massachusetts in their early 20s had to be rescued from Falling Waters Trail because they didn't have appropriate clothing for the weather, the department said. 

And on Saturday, two teenagers from Plymouth were saved from the summit of Mount Washington by state park employees after one of them suffered a leg injury. 

Harvard University-affiliated researchers at Mass General Brigham in Boston say that the test for pTau217, an amyloid protein that build plaques in the brain linked to Alzheimer's, "has the potential to predict progression of the illness years before symptoms or brain scan changes."

A blood test is much simpler than a spinal tap or PET scan, researchers said.

"We used to think that PET scan detection was the earliest sign of Alzheimer's disease progression, revealing amyloid accumulation in the brain 10 to 20 years before symptoms appear," lead study author Hyun-Sik Yang, a Harvard Medical School assistant professor of neurology, said in a statement. "But now we are seeing that pTau217 can be detected years earlier, well before clear abnormalities appear on amyloid PET scans."

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration gave marketing approval to the first blood test to help doctors diagnose Alzheimer's in some patients. 

The Harvard study followed 317 adults with healthy brains who were between 50 and 90 years old. Participants underwent blood tests for pTau217, as well as PET scans and cognitive testing. 

"Researchers found that higher levels of pTau217 predicted a faster buildup of Alzheimer's disease pathology, even when initial brain scans appeared normal," Mass General Brigham said.

The researchers aren't recommending this blood test for all older adults yet, but they hope it could one day be used for "routine health maintenance."

"By anticipating who's going to turn amyloid-positive in the future, we are trying to push back the clock to enable earlier Alzheimer's disease prediction," Mass General Brigham neurologist Dr. Jasmeer Chhatwal said.  

Last year, a Harvard Medical School study found that lithium could one day help treat Alzheimer's. 

About 100 people were involved in the social media stunt on October 5, 2025, at the intersection of North Main and Oak streets. Video from the dashboard camera in a police cruiser at the scene showed the crowd blocking the car, jumping on it and setting off fireworks on it.

The only responding police officer was an Army veteran who just returned from deployment.

"He was outnumbered. You cannot get out of a cruiser there with a swarming crowd. And then with the fireworks, you don't know if that's gunfire or fireworks," said Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag.

Randolph police said drivers blocked off the intersection to perform stunts, drifting maneuvers and donuts.

"No one could get through, which I think was the scariest part. No police, no fire. So, if there was an emergency, forget it, you're on your own," a local business owner said of that night.

Police said some of the group may have travelled to other street takeovers in the area that night, including Boston. That incident ended with a Boston police cruiser on fire.

Investigators tracked down the suspects after sifting through social media accounts and video for months. Police said none of those arrested were from Randolph.

All 17 people were charged in Quincy District Court with offenses that include conspiracy, interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct, operating to endanger, and number plate violations. 

Four of them were in court late Wednesday morning.

Nahom Daniel Brook, 23, of Boston, 20-year-old Hashelyn Darnely Cabral of Fitchburg, 22-year-old Ashlee Renee Carrier-McLeod of Leicester and 20-year-old David Deshawn Daniels of Fitchburg all had not guilty pleas entered on their behalf. They were then put in handcuffs and taken to another part of the courthouse to prepare for bail hearings.

The four were released Tuesday afternoon on a promise to return to court, as long as they stay out of Randolph. They're due back in court on June 11.

Katie Pedrick and her daughter Daisy looked around the area for hours, retracing their steps in the hope of finding the stuffed toy, but no luck. Pedrick, fearing the worst, turned to social media for help.

"My three-year-old lost her favorite stuffy at the Boston Marathon today," Pedrick said in the post. "Her name is Sarah and we would really, really love her back." 

The video quickly gained thousands of views, but no one had seen any sign of the stuffed animal. Pedrick then called CBS News Boston, hoping someone knew someone who may be around the finish line late at night. CBS News Boston called Ali Foley, a volunteer with the Neighborhood Association of Back Bay. Foley quickly set out with her dog, combining sidewalks, trash containers, and even speaking with a Boston police officer.

But right as Foley was about to give up, something caught her eye, lying against a building. 

"I looked down Exeter Street, which had just been cleaned," Foley said. "I looked down to the left and I see a little bundle of fur on the sidewalk and I said, 'That can't be it.'" 

Daisy was reunited with her beloved Sarah near the finish line on Tuesday. 

"I didn't think we would ever see her again and we are so happy to have her back. She is going to get an AirTag collar the second we get home, that's for sure," Pedrick said. "I think the Boston Marathon is so much about people coming together and community spirit. It really feels like an example of that."

"I've had some difficult conversations with people that I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive," the New England Patriots coach told reporters at Gillette Stadium. 

"We believe that in order to be successful on and off the field you have to make good decisions. That includes me, that starts we me. We never want our actions to negatively affect the team. We never want to be the cause of a distraction."

Vrabel never mentioned Russini specifically by name.

"We'll keep those private and to ourselves"

He apologized for not addressing the situation earlier, but added that he wanted to speak to the team first. The Patriots reported to Gillette Stadium on Monday for the first day of voluntary organized team activities. 

"Those are comments and questions that I've answered for the team and with the team and we'll keep those private and to ourselves. I care deeply about this football team and I'm excited to coach them," Vrabel said. 

"I also know that I'm going to attack each day with humility and focus. And what I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff, the coaches, everybody, our fans most importantly will get the best version of me going forward. And that's what I know. I'm excited to do that, but I wanted to just address this and thank you for dealing with a private and personal matter."

Vrabel spoke for just under three minutes and did not take any questions.

Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini photos

Two weeks ago, on April 7, the New York Post published pictures of Vrabel and Russini together at the Ambiente hotel in Sedona, Arizona on Saturday, March 28. They showed the two holding hands, embracing and sitting in a pool and a hot tub. Both Vrabel and Russini are married to other people. They each released statements to the newspaper downplaying the photos.

In his statement at the time, Vrabel said, "These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn't deserve any further response."

Russini resigned from the Athletic on April 14. 

"I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published," Russini said in her resignation letter.

There has been no official comment from the Patriots.

An NFL spokesman said on Saturday that the league is not looking into the matter. 

Patriots fan reaction: "Take some smart pills"

Some Patriots fans acknowledged the situation wasn't ideal. But many said they still support the coach.

"It wasn't a good look, but I believe in Vrabel and I wish him the best," said Patty Varrell, a Patriots fan. "He brought the team back, I don't love that he did that."

"He's stupid to do that because you always get caught," one fan told WBZ-TV's Juli McDonald. "I don't think he should resign over something like that. But you know, I think he ought to take some smart pills." 

Others said the matter is private and should remain private.

"It's cannon fodder, he's the coach of the Patriots, the best team in the league. Let's let him be the coach and let personal stuff be personal stuff," fan Joe Morrissette said. "That's between him and his family and him and his own person. It has nothing to do with us, we are just here to root for the Patriots.

"Keep it at home, keep the personal stuff," said Dennis Fullen, a Patriots fan. "The Patriots, they are our favorite team, you know we are going to support them through good, bad or whatever."

Ryan said Lexington Police got a 911 call from a man at a home on Mason Street around 1:40 p.m. He told them his 26-year-old son had hurt himself with a knife. The son was still in the house and the father asked officers for help.

As Lexington Police arrived, they were followed by officers from the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) a consortium of 68 police departments in Middlesex and Essex counties. Those officers were in Lexington at the time for some Patriots' Day events.

Police escorted two people out of the house, leaving the son alone inside. As officers set up outside, Ryan said the man ran out of the house with a large kitchen knife and "advanced on the officers."

"Two attempts were made to use less lethal force. They were not effective. The man continued to advance and was fatally shot by a Wilmington police officer assigned to NEMLEC," Ryan told reporters at a news conference Saturday night.

The man, later identified as Colin Barthelemy of Lexington, died at the scene. The Wilmington officer was taken to a nearby hospital "as a precaution," Ryan said. She added that the home was "known to police."

"We are in the very early stages of this investigation," the district attorney said. "The family has asked me to convey that they might be allowed to grieve in private over the next few days."

"Extremely surprising," David Holzman said of all the police activity on the street Saturday afternoon. He's lived in the neighborhood for about 35 years.

"I've never seen anything like this in this neighborhood," he told reporters. "It's just bizarre."

"We understand there will be a demand for immediate release of information surrounding the incident," the town of Lexington said in a statement Tuesday. 

"It is the statutory obligation of the District Attorney to investigate officer involved shootings. This process includes an investigation by the District Attorney's Office and by the investigative team of Massachusetts State Police Troopers assigned to her office. A judicial review by an independent District Court Justice is then conducted for the purpose of finding the facts and circumstances surrounding the death. This process is extremely intensive. When complete, all the documents, statements, reports and investigative materials are placed into a report and shared online for public review."

Lexington, Massachusetts is about 20 miles northwest of Boston.

Since its inception in 1981, Wednesday's Child has been a collaboration of the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE), the Department of Children & Families and WBZ-TV/CBS Boston. Hosted by Jack Williams for 34 years, this weekly series has given a face and voice to the children who wait the longest for families. Wednesday's Child has helped find homes for hundreds of waiting children and continues to raise awareness about adoption from foster care.

Representative David Robertson (D) is planning to file a bill to amend the budget after the Department of Public Health removed pepper spray, handcuffs, and rubber batons from the security staff at Tewksbury State Hospital weeks ago. The department said the equipment was not conducive to a therapeutic environment.

The hospital has seen a large amount of violence in recent weeks, with the latest incident happening Monday night. A patient allegedly assaulted another patient with scissors. Then last week, a visitor allegedly pushed a chair into a pregnant staff member, and in a separate case, a woman threw a trash can into a window. Staff said that waiting for the police to arrive to help puts them at risk. Tewksbury Police Chief Ryan Columbus called the decision "negligent."

The I-Team has been reporting on increasing violence at the hospital since 2021. Tewksbury police and fire say they respond to more than 600 calls a year at the hospital. In 2025, the state implemented changes, outfitting security with non-lethal equipment after a review of safety concerns and an internal investigation.   

Wendy Buote is a registered nurse at the hospital. She said, 'staff are getting punched in the face they are getting hurt they're getting knocked out. But if I'm being attacked, public safety cannot even put hands on. It's not even the pepper spray; they cannot intervene. Every day that I walk in there I'm afraid for my patients, my staff."  

Roberton said that he is "not surprised that there was another incident. This was all extremely predictable."

The string of violence was the topic of discussion at the Tewksbury town selectboard meeting, where frustrated local leaders, staff, and residents are placing the blame for the escalating violence on Governor Healey and her administration.

Jomarie Buckley sits on the board of trustees for Tewksbury State Hospital and she explained that the Department of Health, the Department of Mental Health, and the Governor's Office are the people who made this situation. 

She told the selectboard that dozens of hospitals allow their security staff to carry pepper gel, including Boston Medical Center and Beth Israel Deaconess. Buckley security staff at the state hospital should also have the equipment.  

Robertson tells the I-Team the situation could easily be resolved if the governor simply tells the DPH commissioner to reverse the decision.

Meantime, Robertson says he has filed legislation to have the state build a new building or new wing designed to contain and reduce the incidents, remove the campus security police from the Department of Public Health and move them to the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. He has also amended the budget to include a provision that would create a law and immediately restore the equipment to security officers.

The iTeam reached out to the Executive Office of Health and Human Services for comment who said that "The safety of patients, staff and the Tewksbury community is our top priority." 

"We have been in ongoing discussions with town and public safety officials, Tewksbury State Hospital leaders, and unions regarding security policies, including making sure that staff have an appropriate range of tools available to keep themselves and others safe. We have made important progress over the past few days and believe we are on a productive path to address concerns and ensure the safety of all," an EOHHS spokesperson said. 

Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said the new charges stem from accusations made by 22 victims between 17 and 56 years old. Todd faces 21 new rape charges, 59 new counts of indecent assault and battery and one count of assault with intent to rape.

"Many of these women had complicated and gravely serious symptoms and conditions. Some were in excruciating pain. Many were desperate for relief," Hayden said. "Dr. Todd intently groomed them all into quiet submission."

With the latest indictments, Todd is now facing more than 100 charges of sexual assault in Massachusetts. 

"Almost unimaginable"

The alleged assaults occurred between 2017 and 2023 at Brigham and Women's Hale Building in Boston and the Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain. Hayden said it's "almost unimaginable" how Todd was able to violate and betray patients' trust.

"The scale of victimization and the magnitude of trauma left in the wake of these allegations is something we have never encountered," Hayden said.

WBZ-TV has reached out to Todd's lawyer for comment. He could be arraigned in court on the new charges this week, Hayden said. 

Charges against Dr. Derrick Todd

Brigham and Women's fired Todd in 2023 following accusations that he performed inappropriate pelvic and breast exams on his patients. The I-Team reported at the time that police were investigating more than a dozen complaints of sex assault against Todd by his female patients. 

In January of 2025, Todd pleaded not guilty in Middlesex Superior Court to rape charges involving two of his former patients at Charles River Medical Associates in Framingham. 

Last month, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said a grand jury indicted Todd on three new charges of rape and 17 counts of indecent assault and battery.

The Legacy works to preserve the groundbreaking work of the dance legends.

Tommy Neblett, the Dean of Dance, explained the choreography involves "lots of hips, lots of shoulders, lots of Internal movements. It's very subtle, but it's incredibly powerful."

Both commercial and contemporary dance majors at the school are learning the intricate movement, thanks to reconstructionist Alyssa Epstein and Mimi Quillin.

Quillen explained, "It really is movement that you have to use your acting chops in order to do properly," with Epstein adding, "We always want to create these beautiful shapes. It's not just about steps. It's about how high you can kick your leg or how many turns you can do. It's about creating really beautiful images that will create an emotion in someone."

Neblett said that the young performers jumped at the chance to learn. 

"Students are thrilled and excited beyond belief that they get to do this, because very few people get to do Fosse anymore," Neblett.

Senior contemporary dance major Chloe Waser is taking it all in. 

"This is absolutely my dream come true. I worked with the Verdon Fosse Legacy two summers ago. I trained with them for six weeks in their professional training program," Waser said. 

There are about 20 students participating in the spring residency.

"They're such hard workers," said Epstein. "I remember I can see myself in them being in the studio and wanting it and wanting to learn it and just absorb as much as I can. So it makes my job so much easier when there are such willing participants and so incredibly talented. "

 Quillin and Epstein know that honoring the past, while looking towards the future, goes beyond Verdon and Fosse's dance steps.

"The way they worked is most important," explained Quillin. "And that it goes forward into making more choreography because we can't keep reaching back. We can reach back for information, but we want to go forward."

"Because performing this work is incredibly special and not everybody gets the opportunity to do it. And I think it's rare sometimes that you feel you can be authentically yourself on stage," said Epstein.

Wasser told WBZ-TV, "I hope I have the opportunity to keep experiencing it and dancing it and loving it forever."

You can see the Fosse performance by the contemporary dance students at "Limitless," the spring dance concert at the Boston Conservatory Theater, April 23rd through the 26th.

The zoo did not say exactly where the 33-year-old gorilla is going, but said he'll move to an accredited institution, "where it is hoped that he will be successful in starting his own family."

In 2003, Little Joe made national headlines when he escaped his enclosure and ran into the city, injuring a 2-year-old girl. The zoo made safety upgrades in the years that followed.

Little Joe is a western lowland gorilla, which is a critically endangered species that is threatened in the wild by disease and poaching, as well as logging and mining practices, the zoo said.

"This news is bittersweet to share as we will all miss Little Joe, but we are also excited for this opportunity for him to lead his own troop and start a family, which is important for the preservation of the species," Zoo New England president and CEO Stephanie Brinley said in a statement. 

Little Joe will leave Boston sometime in the coming months. As part of the breeding program, he will be replaced by two young gorillas in the spring. One of them is an 8-year-old named Moke that is currently at the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Later in the year, a male silverback gorilla will come to Boston from another zoo.

The two young gorillas will join a 5-year-old at Franklin Park Zoo named Pablo to form a "bachelor group," the zoo said.

"Pablo is reaching the age where he will be testing his family and pushing boundaries more," assistant curator Erica Farrell said. "We hope that Pablo will bond with his new bachelor troop members while they are still young and develop relationships that will help them grow together through their teenage years, and beyond."

At the time, no one knew exactly what they were hearing. The audio was etched onto a thin plastic disk using equipment originally designed for office dictation, labeled simply "fish noises," and filed away in the archives.

Dr. Ashley Jester, who oversees these archives now, said the recordings were easy to miss. They were buried in boxes, very nondescript with their labels. Then researchers gave a modern listen to an old mystery. What Jester heard was not fish. It was a humpback whale.

"I hit play on that WAV file and it was goosebumps. The recording starts, and the voice comes on, and he says 'It's the 7th of March, 1949, a little note about the hydrophone, and then you hear the plop. And then right there is the song. I'm getting goosebumps right now thinking about it," Jester said.

Scientists now believe it could be the oldest recorded whale song ever discovered.

Whale recording from 1940s

The find is remarkable not only because of its age, but because it offers a rare snapshot of what the ocean may have sounded like in the late 1940s.

Back then, underwater recording required bulky equipment, long cables, and systems researchers often built themselves. Today, that technology can fit in the palm of your hand.

Dr. Laela Sayigh, a marine bioacoustics researcher at Woods Hole, said modern hydrophones can record for days at a time using compact digital devices.

But for scientists, this historic recording may be most valuable for what it does not contain.

"To potentially be able to look at the levels of ambient noise, which almost certainly would be much, much lower. Because now, you can hear shipping traffic, seismic exploration," Sayigh said. 

Why noise pollution matters

In other words, the ocean is not as quiet as it once was. That matters because whales and other marine mammals depend on sound the way humans depend on sight.

"Considering noise as a pollutant is something that has only kind of recently gotten a lot of attention, but marine mammals as a group really rely on sound. It's their essential mode. It's as important to them as vision is to us," Sayigh said. 

Sound helps whales communicate, navigate, find food, and survive. As human activity increases underwater noise, researchers say those natural behaviors may be changing.

And this discovery may be only the beginning.

"There are 212 discs in the collection. So we probably have at least 200 hours of underwater recording," Jester said.

Hundreds of hours of forgotten sound may now help scientists better understand how ocean life, and the ocean itself, has changed over time.

Plitouke, 35, of Southbridge, was arraigned in Dudley District Court Tuesday in connection with the death of Marleigh Guevara. She's charged with motor vehicle homicide, negligent operation and speeding.

Guevara's father cried in court as prosecutors laid out what happened.  

Deadly Webster crash kills 10-year-old

Police said Plitouke was driving the car that hit Guevara on School Street in Webster, just feet from the girl's home on Saturday, April 11. Plitouke stayed at the scene after the crash. Webster Police Chief Michael Shaw said she had "no signs of intoxication" and had an active driver's license. A person who had an automated external defibrillator (AED) tried to help Guevara before she was rushed to a hospital in Worcester where she died.

Plitouke was arrested at her home in Southbridge six days later on April 17. She has been held on $100,000 bail.

According to court documents released Tuesday, Plitouke had been arrested in Dudley on April 3, eight days before the deadly crash. Dudley police said they found her "unresponsive" behind the wheel of her car in the middle of Center Road at 9:35 p.m. She was charged with OUI drugs, possession of fentanyl and crack cocaine, and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. She was arraigned on April 6 and released on a promise to return to court.

Five days later, on April 11, Webster police said she was speeding on School Street when she hit Guevera, who was a fourth grade student at Park Avenue Elementary School. 

According to the police report, Plitouke told officers "a child ran out in front of her car coming from the sidewalk" and that "she wasn't able to stop in time, and the child went right into the air."

Officers said she told them "after the impact, the child rolled off of her vehicle and into the roadway."

She told police she was driving 20-to-25 miles per hour, but police said "mathematical equations" using the evidence showed she was going about 41 mph in a 30-mph zone. If she was driving at the speed limit, police said she would have been able to stop her car about 57 feet before impact.

"Ms. Plitouke's speed was a major factor in this crash," police said in their report. 

"She was going 11 miles over the speed limit at best. No alcohol, no drugs, no texting, no changing the radio. It was an accident, she feels terrible about what happened. I think at the end of this the court will find she that did nothing criminal," defense attorney Robert Lacovelli said.

Plitouke was ordered held on $25,000 cash bail at her arraignment. If she posts bail, she's required to stay drug and alcohol free and she's not allowed to drive. She will return to court on June 4. 

Remembering Marleigh Guevara

"I want justice for my baby. She didn't deserve this," Marleigh's mother, Heather Pereira, told reporters outside court Tuesday. Pereira said she is struggling to live in her home following the death of her daughter. 

"It's traumatizing to even drive up the street," Pereira explained. 

"We all said we don't have hate towards nobody and my daughter would be saying something like that. I'm okay. As a father I can't say the same. I'm broken," said Marleigh's father Rafael Guevars. "I love her to death. This is my child. It wasn't supposed to be like this."

The community has created a memorial outside of Marleigh's home, full of flowers, candles, and remembrance. Pereira and Guevars said that their daughter was a light to the world.

"She was always happy, always making jokes, always curious. She loved to be outside, riding her bike, riding her rollerskates," Pereira said.

Webster, Massachusetts is about 58 miles southwest of Boston. 

It happened on October 5 at the intersection of North Main and Oak streets. Randolph police said drivers blocked off the street in order to perform stunts, drifting maneuvers and donuts.

The first arriving officer's cruiser was surrounded by about 100 people, preventing him from intervening.

"Individuals were observed swarming the vehicle, striking it and blocking its path while fireworks were ignited both on top of the cruiser and nearby in the street," police said.

One Randolph business owner spoke to WBZ-TV about the night of the incident.

"I thought the world was ending," said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous. "There was smoke, screaming, and car tires screeching."

Randolph street takeover arrests

In the months that followed, police said they launched an extensive investigation. They reviewed dash camera footage, surveillance cameras from nearby businesses, and social media posts.

Police recovered messages from Instagram accounts belonging to people allegedly connected to the street takeover. In the messages, participants allegedly shared locations and instructions, encouraging spectators to block police.

All 17 people were charged in Quincy District Court with offenses that include conspiracy, interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct, operating to endanger, and number plate violations. Warrants were issued for some of the individuals, and summonses for others. Several people are scheduled to be in Quincy District Court on Wednesday.

Randolph police said they believe many of those involved traveled together and were involved in multiple Massachusetts takeovers during the same night. About 45 minutes after the Randolph incident, a Boston police cruiser was set on fire.

17 people charged

William Cantwell, 19, from Warwick, Rhode Island was one of two people arrested for the Boston incident. He is also among the 17 people charged in Randolph.

The regional investigation remains open, Randoph police said.

In addition to Cantwell, also charged are:

• Divine Truth Norris Niles, 23, Roxbury
• Nazeem Vincent McLeod, 20, Worcester
• Casey Rondeau, 23, Farmington, Maine
• Jordan Ryan, 19, Exeter, R.I.
• Nahom Daniel Brook, 23, Boston
• Dylan Lee Jordan, 19, Gilmanton, New Hampshire
• Nathaniel Jaymoni Urbaez, 22, Dedham
• Jaden Williams, 23, Putnam, Connecticut
• C. Anthony Llenas, 23, Boston
• William Martinez, 31, Bronx, New York
• Alec Enrique Cotto, 23, Taunton
• Aidan Quinn LaFleche, 19, Springfield
• Ashlee Renee Carrier-McLeod, 22, Leicester
• Christopher William Diaz, 20, Springfield
• Hashelyn Darnely Cabral, 20, Fitchburg
• David Deshawn Daniels, 20, Fitchburg

"There is no one from the Randolph community involved in it. They are coming to our community to make it unsafe, and it's not fair to our community members," Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag said. "Social media is a powerful thing. You have these organized groups who coordinate these efforts, and you see New York, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut who we are charging."

Boston World Cup

Gillette Stadium is being transformed into "Boston Stadium" to host seven World Cup matches between June 13 and July 9. The countries confirmed to playing in Boston are Haiti, Scotland, Iraq, Norway, Morocco, England, Ghana and France.

With parking at Gillette limited to 5,000 spaces per match, fans are being encouraged to take mass transit to Foxboro. The Commuter Rail is running special trains directly to the stadium from Boston's South Station, with round-trip tickets costing $80. Bus tickets on the "Boston Stadium Express" from Logan Airport and hotels around the region will be even more expensive at $95.

Politicians in New York and New Jersey have taken issue with the high transit costs for World Cup fans. But Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said at the news conference in Boston Tuesday that taking the MBTA will be "one of the more affordable ways to get to Foxboro."

"There are other destinations where their stadiums is in the heart of a city that has a lot of public transportation already going to it. You all know where Boston Stadium in Foxboro is located, it's a little bit more on the outskirts," she said. "The cost of parking, the costs of buses to that facility have to be borne and take on some of the costs of providing those services, that's why it's a little bit higher."

Will tailgating be allowed at Gillette for the World Cup?

The official website for Boston's FIFA World Cup Host Committee says "traditional 'tailgating' (eating and drinking around parked cars) is not permitted for these events." 

"We accepted that probably without as much interrogation as we should have," Boston Host Committee President Mike Loynd said Tuesday.

He said there will be more conversations over the next week with World Cup organizers around tailgating, and said "I think we'll come to a good conclusion."

"The stadium certainly wants to make sure that the experience is very much like it is for a Patriots game when it comes to that," he said.

Boston FIFA Fan Festival

Until now, little has been shared about the Boston fan festival other than it will take place on City Hall Plaza.

In addition to showing two to three matches per day on big screens, Loynd said the 16-day event will be free and feature food vendors and a "cultural showcase" of community events. A committee will select performers to entertain the crowd when matches aren't being shown.

"It will be very representative of Boston and of Massachusetts," he said.  

Kansas City just announced a concert lineup for its fan festival, featuring artist names like The Chainsmokers, Flo Rida and The All-American Rejects.

Delaware Court of Chancery Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster said the board, controlled by Demoulas' three sisters, was "valid" to suspend and remove Demoulas from his position as president and CEO last year. Demoulas had countersued, arguing that his sisters were "fueled by greed and envy."

"Arthur had the burden at trial to prove that a majority of the Current Directors acted in bad faith," the judge wrote. "He failed to carry his burden."

The board suspended Demoulas, known as "Artie T" by loyal customers and employees, back in May 2025, saying there were credible allegations that he was planning a work stoppage. A spokesperson for Demoulas said at the time that board's investigation was "a farcical cover for a hostile takeover."

The 126-page ruling details the decades-long family struggle for power at the New England supermarket chain. The judge does not dispute that Demoulas ran a successful business, but says the board had reason to believe that his "longstanding resistance to board oversight, imperious manner, and refusal to compromise with his sisters threatened the company."

The judge said that Demoulas took a "passive-aggressive stance" with the board when they made specific requests for information about the Market Basket finances, and "the boardroom environment became toxic.

The judge also wrote that the board members believed "in good faith" that Demoulas might be planning a repeat of the 2014 Market Basket boycott that occurred after he was first fired by his cousin known as "Arthur S."

"They rationally feared that Arthur felt cornered and would run the same play in 2025," the judge wrote. "Each testified credibly to believing that Arthur was behind the 2014 walkout and that he would try it again."  

In a statement to WBZ-TV, Demoulas's spokesperson Justine Griffin said he knew "there were high hurdles given the broad latitude Delaware courts give to Boards of Directors."

"Market Basket is an incredible success by every measure," the statement said. "As his father before him, the late Telemachus A. Demoulas, Arthur T. has devoted his entire working life to building and growing Market Basket in a way that has brought benefit to all stakeholders – its Associates, its customers, the communities that Market Basket serves, and its shareholders."

Don Mulligan, the company's chief financial officer for 26 years, was named interim CEO in September. Earlier this year, a ranking said Market Basket was the second-best grocery store chain in the country.

The Board of Directors issued this statement Monday.

"With this behind us, we're looking forward to continuing to focus on everything that makes Market Basket so important to our communities.  As the Board has said repeatedly, the Company is not for sale. Market Basket will continue to be a family-owned and operated business, offering the lowest prices and best value for customers, creating good jobs with profit sharing for associates, and supporting its customers and communities—well into the future.  We're excited about all of that," the board said. 

"The Board thanks Mr. Demoulas for his many years of service and anticipates working with him productively into the future as one of the company's important shareholders."

"It's such an honor to race," said New Hampshire runner Jane Palangas.

"I am running for those who can't run," Chad Toscano from Salem, New Hampshire said.

Raising money for charity

Thousands of people who run the marathon use the race to raise money for charities like Brunna Alves, who raised $12,000 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in her second Boston Marathon. 

"A few people I know unfortunately passed due to different types of cancers. It is just my way to give back to them and their families," Alves said. "[The Boston Marathon] is amazing."

Dr. Tim Schindler, a neonatologist from Sydney, Australia raised money and awareness for premature babies.

"Not everyone knows about what these babies go through, how difficult it is for them, and not all of them make it. We need all the help that we can get to look after them, give them the best chance at life," Dr. Schindler said.

Jason Booher, 51, highlighted the consequences of drinking and driving. Booher survived a deadly bus crash in 1998 that claimed the lives of dozens of people after a drunk driver hit the bus. Booher lost his best friend in the tragedy. 

"27 people didn't make it out of the bus and it just so happens, marathons are 26.2, so every mile is dedicated to one of those that didn't make it out," he said 

Coach Ryan Calan, 36, from Arizona, chose to run on behalf of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation.

"I wanted to carry Old Glory all the way through for the people who are serving our country or have served our country. Just everyone out there, firefighters and police departments are so grateful for you guys," Calan shared. 

Reclaiming the Boston Marathon after 2013

Many runners were present the day the bombs went off at the finish line in 2013 and have made an effort to reclaim the marathon from the tragedy. 

"I had a guardian angel that day. I had a cramp at Cleveland Circle that made me stop for five minutes," 71-year-old Michael Brummer said. He explained he will run the marathon for as long as he is able. "I have run all over the United States. Nothing compares to this." 

Running the major marathons

While some runners are on their way to completing the seven major marathons, London, Tokyo, Boston, New York, Berlin, Chicago, and Sydney. Mary and Mat Clothier just completed their fourth major marathon and will be flying home to run the London Marathon in just six days. 

"I am feeling not too bad. He is feeling ruined," Mary Clothier explained. "We made the classic Boston error and went off way too quick."

Mat agreed, "I am feeling ruined."

Crossing the finish line together

Best friends Sydney and Caroline crossed the finish line together, excited to be reunited with family, having just received their medals.

"I am super proud of us," they shared. "It was wonderful, really hard."

Emma Pratt, from Dedham, crossed the finish line of her first Boston Marathon alongside her fiancé Nate Usage. 

"Running brought us together," Usage shared. "It's something we leaned into in the last couple of years."

"It brought us closer," Pratt said. "We push each other."

Khang Nguyen,17, said he and his friend, 18-year-old Vaughn Webb, thought they were well prepared for their hike on Saturday. They brought trekking poles, layers, microspikes for their boots and more. 

But halfway up the trail, Nguyen feared the worst when his leg began to hurt. 

"It was just incredibly painful to lift up my right leg," he explained. "I told [Vaughn] to leave me behind so I could go on my own pace and for him to reach the summit to get help at first." 

The pair managed to reach the top of the mountain but had to seek shelter next to a building as wind gusts increased, and the air temperature reached 38 degrees. Nguyen said they also ran out of food and water. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department received the 911 call around 7:30 p.m. and quickly alerted a State Park employee who began to search for the two teens.

"Conservation Officers then began responding in four-wheel-drive pickup trucks to try and get to the summit and back ahead of incoming snow," the game department said in a statement. 

After about 30 minutes of searching both Webb and Nguyen were found. They were taken inside a building and Nguyen was treated for his injury.

"The worker that was up there, [said] that they came in record time, and we appreciate their help a lot. It saved our lives potentially," Nguyen explained. 

The pair was successfully taken off the mountain by 10 p.m.  The two teens are now safely back in Massachusetts and are incredibly grateful to their rescuers. 

Here's a look at some of the famous faces that finished the 130th Boston Marathon.

Suni Williams

Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams, who was stuck in space for 286 days before returning to Earth last March, ran the marathon as the 2026 Patriots' Award recipient. She ran the marathon while at the International Space Station in 2007, and also completed the Falmouth Road Race in 2024 while in space.

Just before 4 p.m., she finished the 2026 Boston Marathon with a time of 5:52:49.

Chelsea Clinton

Chelsea Clinton, an author and the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, finished with a time of 3:40:52. Bill and Hillary Clinton were there to celebrate with their daughter after she crossed the finish line.

Clinton has run the New York City Marathon multiple times. 

Zdeno Chara

Hockey Hall of Famer and longtime Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara ran the marathon again. He's run Boston twice for Team Hoyt, finishing in 3:30:52 in 2024. Six days after running that race, he set a new personal best at the London Marathon. 

This time around, Chara improved his time with a finish of 3:18:00 while wearing his customary bib No. 3333, signifying his number while he played for the Bruins.

Des Linden

In 2018, Des Linden became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in 33 years. The 2025 Boston Marathon was her last time competing in a marathon as a professional. 

On Monday, she ran Boston in a time of 2:35:49.

Bryan Arenales

"Love Island" season 7 winner Bryan Arenales is an Everett native who was competing in the Boston Marathon for the first time. "Boston really isn't just another race to me," he said in a recent Instagram video. "It's memories, it's history."

He finished his race in a time of 4:06:49.

Jeff DaRosa

Hometown band Dropkick Murphys was represented in the marathon by instrumentalist Jeff DaRosa. He was running in support of the group's Claddagh Found, which supports veterans, children and addiction recovery.

He crossed with a time of 3:40:32.

Amby Burfoot

Amby Burfoot is the men's champion of the 1968 Boston Marathon who went on to become editor-in-chief of Runner's World. He was running the marathon again at 79 years old.

Burfoot finished with a time of 5:11:29.

Laura Green

Laura Green, described as a "running comedian," has hilariously chronicled the challenges of training for Boston during one of the harshest winters in years on her Instagram. 

Green ended the race with a time of 3:50:17.  

Kristine Lilly

Retired soccer star Kristine Lilly, a two-time World Cup champion with the U.S. Women's National Team, ran Boston to raise money for her former teammate Mia Hamm's foundation. 

Lilly crossed the finish line with a time of 5:16:32. 

Chris Herren

Chris Herren, a former Boston Celtics basketball player from Fall River, is now a motivational speaker on the topic of substance use prevention and wellness.

He finished the Boston Marathon in 5:12:13. 

Mike Beeman

Sixty-nine-year-old Mike Beeman, a popular runner on social media, completed his 49th Boston Marathon on Monday. He has completed 111 marathons throughout his life and expects to run his 50th Boston Marathon next year.

He finished the 2026 race with a time of 4:58:17.

Members of WBZ-TV family

Brad Tatum, assistant news director for WBZ-TV, finished his race around 3:20 p.m.

Tatum ran a time of 3:51:09, averaging 8 minutes, 49 seconds per mile. 

Margaret Henry, the wife of CBS News Boston producer Joe Weil, completed her marathon around 4:30 p.m. with a time of 5:05:16.

2026 Boston Marathon winners

The men's professional winner was John Korir, taking home a second straight Boston Marathon title with a course-record time.

The Kenyan won with a time of 2:01:52, shaving several minutes off of his 2025 mark of 2:04:45. The time smashed the previous Boston Marathon course record of 2:03:02, set by Geoffrey Mutai in 2011.

When Korir won in 2025, he accomplished a feat previously achieved by his brother, Wesley Korir, in 2012.

Sharon Lokedi of Kenya also defended her Boston Marathon title in the women's professional division.

She won comfortably with a time of 2:18:51 to earn a second straight title.

Lokedi won Boston in 2025 thanks to her time of 2:17:22.

Boston Marathon wheelchair winners

Switzerland's Marcel Hug, known as "The Silver Bullet" for his trademark silver helmet, won for the men's wheelchair division for a ninth time.

Hug's victory was a dominant one. He finished with an unofficial time of 1:16:05. 

A short time later, Eden Rainbow-Cooper won the women's wheelchair title with an unofficial time of 1:30:51. She broke the tape several minutes ahead of the competition. 

It was Rainbow-Cooper's second Boston Marathon title. In 2024, she became the first woman from Great Britain to win the division.

Boston Marathon prize money

There is a prize pool of $1,284,500, which is an increase of $70,000 from 2025.

The pool is spread among men and women in the open, masters and wheelchair divisions. Included in the prize pool is a $50,000 course record bonus for open and wheelchair athletes.

For winning the men's race, Korir won $150,000, then he added the $50,000 for his course record for a total of $200,000.

Who won the Boston Marathon in 2025?

Korir won the 2025 Boston Marathon, pulling away from the lead pack around the 20-mile mark and winning easily with a time of 2:04:45.

Sharon Lokedi used a late push and won the women's race with a time of 2:17:22. She fought off fellow Kenyan Hellen Obiri, shattering the course record in the process.

It was a familiar face taking home the men's wheelchair division. Hug, Monday's first winner of the day, won for the eighth time in 2025.

Susannah Scaroni of Washington state took home the title in the women's wheelchair in 2025. The victory came one year after she was forced to withdraw due to injury. 

At a family-owned farm in Billerica, longtime farmer Bill Griggs said the spike is adding uncertainty to his operation as tensions in the Middle East drive up fuel costs. Griggs relies on diesel to fuel tractors and heat greenhouses, both essential to keeping his business running. But he said recent deliveries have come at a steep price.

"I'm assuming when I ask them to fill my diesel tank, it's going to be expensive," Griggs said, pointing to his latest bill in April, which was hundreds of dollars more than the month before.

The uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz is also affecting supply chains. Griggs said he is still waiting on fertilizer shipments, which will also come at a steeper cost.

"That's a big part of the world's food supply, people are missing," he said.

Ultimately, he said, those rising costs are passed down to consumers.

"It all adds up, you cannot avoid that," Griggs added.

Researchers at Brown University have launched an energy cost tracker showing the financial toll since the start of the war in Iran. According to the data, household energy costs have climbed to more than $160 per U.S. household.

"That's money out of everyday Americans' pockets," said Brown professor Jeff Colgan.

Colgan said diesel prices affect nearly every part of the economy.

"Whether it's from Amazon or from a grocery store, or everything gets touched by diesel prices because diesel is the fuel by which all of the goods in our economy really get shipped around," Colgan added.

"It takes a while before higher diesel prices really trickle all the way to the supermarket shelf. So we're in for some additional pain in terms of pricing as a result," said Mark Schieldrop, AAA Northeast Senior Spokesperson. 

Experts say even if the conflict were resolved immediately, it could still take weeks before diesel prices begin to come down, if they do at all.  

"Right now it's a lot of uncertainty. If the war ends, we'll start to see some more certainty, and one possibility is higher prices as the world comes back from this major event," added Schieldrop.

Not only is it Marathon Monday for the 130th running of the Boston Marathon, it's also a day to commemorate the start of the American Revolution. 

What is Patriots' Day?

Patriot's Day has been a holiday in Massachusetts since 1894. While April 19 is the official designated holiday, it is observed on the third Monday of April.

The date marks the first battles of the American Revolution in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. 

What's closed on Patriots' Day?

Public schools are closed in Massachusetts on Patriots' Day, as are all state, county and municipal offices and courts. 

All RMV offices and Service Center locations are also closed Monday.

What's open on Patriots' Day?

Federal offices and courts are open Monday, as is the Post Office, because Patriots' Day is not a federal holiday.

Most banks, retail stores, supermarkets, restaurants and gyms will be open. Liquor stores are also allowed to open, as are cannabis dispensaries on what's known as the "4/20" holiday. 

Patriots' Day events

Besides the Marathon, there are other annual events on Patriots' Day in Massachusetts.

The Boston Red Sox have their annual Patriots' Day game, starting at 11:10 a.m. against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.

The town of Concord will have a parade on Main Street at 9 a.m., followed by a block party from noon to 4 p.m.

The Daughters of the American Revolution will hold a wreath-laying ceremony at the Battle Green in Lexington at 10 a.m. before a "Paul Revere arrival" at 12:30 p.m.

Patriots' Day MBTA schedule

The subway will run on a weekday schedule while buses will be on a modified Saturday schedule to accommodate the marathon.

The Commuter Rail will run on a special marathon schedule on the Worcester line, with all other lines on a weekday schedule. The $10 holiday weekend pass will be good for Monday. 

The ferry and The Ride will be on a weekday schedule. 

Copley Station near the finish line will be closed all day for safety reasons. More information is available at the T's Marathon Guide website. 

"What the Constitution Means to Me" looks at the impact the document has on four generations of women in the same family. The play, now at the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham, is framed as a bit of a memoir.

Actor Janice Hudson said, "Some people might think it's this sort of academic journey through policy and clauses of the Constitution, but it is absolutely not that."

Hudson stars as the playwright of "What the Constitution Means to Me," Heidi Schrek.

The ever-evolving piece takes a close look at the document and imagines how it could shape the next generation.

"As things pass and change," Hudson explained, "We are updating the script actively to reflect what's happening in real time, which I think is very cool."

Director A. Nora Long added, "Studying history, studying our political documents is a great way to see not only how far we've come, but how far yet we have to go. I think a lot of people are surprised to learn, for example, that women are not in the Constitution at all. And I think, the Constitution in a lot of ways is a real deep dive into American history, who historically has been a person, who gets to be a person and why."

"At a macro level, it trickles down into our daily lives in ways that some of us probably don't even realize. And I think that's what Heidi's trying to do is get us to think about this very old document that is very much still alive and functioning in today's world," Hudson said. 

At age 15, Heidi earned her college tuition by winning constitutional debate competitions across the United States. That experience is echoed in the theater.

"We actually do a live debate in front of the audience about whether or not we should keep or abolish the United States Constitution," said Hudson. "The audience gets to be the judge. It's a good time."

"I think we all have a newfound appreciation for a thoughtful exchange of ideas.  I hope it allows us to engage our differences while recognizing our common humanity," Long said. 

You can see "What the Constitution Means to Me" at the Greater Boston Stage in Stoneham through April 26th.

"He must be getting used to it, or lives near here so my alert is up. There is fear," said Casey Devito, who has had a front row seat to the bear outside of her slider door, "It's kind of a zoo for my kids to look out."

The bear first showed up on March 17. It walked around the side of their backyard to a deck on the side. It climbed onto the deck and put its paws on their patio table.

"He notices that there's some food or bird feeders on the table and he peeks up," Devito said. "I want to say he was like kind of cute. I was like, 'Awe, he looks so friendly,' but obviously I wasn't going to go out there."

"He walked right up, silly me, I was making bird feeders with my kids, and the bear wandered up here. It was poking around and sniffing the bird seed and peanut butter," told Devito.

On April 19, the bear returned again to the deck, but did not walk onto it. Instead, just sniffing a few of Devito's kids' toys before walking past.

"I think that they are looking for food, and probably just from structures being built close by, being pushed out of their habitats to where we are living," said Devito.

Bears aren't a common sight in Waltham, but wildlife experts say many animals are starting to wake up from hibernation this month.

"In many cases, animals are having their babies right now, so they are looking for extra resources to feed their families," said Zak Mertz, CEO of New England Wildlife Center.

He's not surprised to see a bear return to the scene of food.

"You don't want to become a routine stop on their foraging, and they have incredible senses of smell," explained Mertz.

Experts say limiting bird feeders and outside pet food will help to see predators less.

"Let them gain the skills they need to survive on their own," encouraged Mertz.

It's strong advice because the Devito residence is becoming quite the buffet.

"We've had coyotes last night drinking out of the kids' water table," laughed Devito.

Runners competing for the United States finished in fifth place overall in both the men's and women's professional races.

In the women's race, Jess McClain from Arizona came in fifth and broke the record for best ever finish by an American woman with her time of 2:20:49.

That time topped the previous record set by Shalane Flanagan in 2022. Flanagan had previously held the mark at 2:22:02.

Annie Frisbie from Minnesota ran in 2:22:00, which was good for eighth overall.

In total, four American women finished in the top 10. Emily Sisson, running for Providence College, was ninth with a time of 2:22:39. Just behind her was Carrie Ellwood, crossing the finish line at 2:22:53, good for 10th place.

Sharon Lokedi of Kenya won the women's division for a second straight year with a time of 2:18:51.

On the men's side, there were two runners for the United States who finished in the top 10.

Zouhair Talbi, who is originally from Morocco but lives in Colorado and competes for the U.S., was fifth at 2:03:45.

Originally from London, Charles Hicks trains in Oregon and competes for the United States. He was seventh in 2:04:35.

The men's winner was also a repeat champion. John Korir, whose brother won the race in 2012, earned a second straight title with a course-record time of 2:01:52.

Daniel Romanchuk was the top American men's wheelchair finisher with a time of 1:22:44, finishing second behind champion Marcel Hug by 6 minutes and 38 seconds.

Great Britain's Eden Rainbow-Cooper won the women's wheelchair race. Tatyana McFadden was the top American, coming in third just under six minutes off the pace.

The 2026 Boston Marathon is the 130th running of the event and there are 30,000 people expected to run on Monday. 

The festivities got underway at 6 a.m. with the military march. Next was the men's and women's wheelchair division starting just after 9 a.m., handcycles and duos at 9:30 a.m., men's professional runners at 9:37 a.m., women's professional runners at 9:47 a.m. and para athletics division at 9:50 a.m.

At 10 a.m., the first open wave of runners took off from the starting line in Hopkinton.

In addition to coverage from WBZ-TV, there are several other ways to track runners and follow their progress on Marathon Monday.

Boston Marathon tracking app

The Boston Athletic Association's racing app is the best way to follow runners along the course.

As described on the B.A.A. website, the app features live runner tracking, interactive course maps, athlete leaderboards, and fundraising totals

The app is available for download in the App Store for Apple products. It can also be found on Google Play for Android devices.  

Boston Marathon bib tracking

On the B.A.A. website, you can also use the tracking section to follow runners throughout the course. 

To receive alerts when runners reach various mile markers, you can sign up through the B.A.A.

In addition, you can look up runners by name or bib number to find their progress. Once the race is over you can do the same to find their finisher information.

Ways to track Boston Marathon runners

You can also keep up with the Boston Marathon on social media. 

The Boston Marathon has accounts on X, previously known as Twitter, as well as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. 

One C-130 operated by the 103rd Airlift Wing of the Connecticut Air National Guard will depart Bradley Air National Guard Base and head toward Boston Monday morning, a marathon spokesperson tells WBZ-TV. The military transport aircraft will cross the starting line in Hopkinton at 9:55:30 a.m., which is just minutes before the first wave of runners begin at 10 a.m.

The C-130 will fly over the entire course in about six minutes.

Flyovers always depend on the weather cooperating. The latest marathon forecast calls for more clouds than sunshine, with chances of scattered showers along the route. Winds are expected to be 5 mph to 15 mph out of the west-northwest.   

Last year, two F-15s from the Unit 104 Fighter Wing out of Westfield flew over the course. Two C-130s out of Bradley did a flyover of the marathon in 2022. 

Boston missed out on one traditional flyover earlier this spring. There was no military flyover for the Boston Red Sox home opener at Fenway Park on April 3.

A U.S. Air Force spokesperson told WBZ-TV it had approved a Fenway flyover, but the team was apparently unable to find a unit to volunteer. Amid the war with Iran, a sergeant with the Vermont Air National Guard said that "due to ongoing mission operations and commitments, our unit was unfortunately unable to provide support for this event today."

You can find complete coverage of the Boston Marathon throughout the day, including information on the winners, and how to track your favorite runners.

Using the MBTA on Marathon Monday

If you are looking to watch the marathon and cheer along the route, the MBTA website includes a map of how you can take the T or Commuter Rail to some of the prime locations. 

If you're looking for the shortest walks, some parts of the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail line are less than half a mile from the Boston Marathon course. The Green Line C Branch runs parallel to the runners. 

People are urged not to drive to the finish line or other popular viewing areas. MBTA stations feature daily parking rates in the range of $2-$15.

MBTA changes on Patriots' Day

Copley Station will be closed all day on Marathon Monday. Stations at South Street, Kent Street, and Saint Mary's Street will be closed from about 10 a.m. to 6 pm.

According to the MBTA, other stations could be adjusted or temporarily closed near the Boston Marathon finish line if warranted. 

Red, Orange, Green, Blue and Silver lines will operate on a weekday schedule. They will also have additional service added before and after the marathon.

The Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail line will operate on a special schedule with additional inbound and outbound trains added due to anticipated high volume of passengers. All other Commuter Rail lines will run on a normal weekday schedule.

There are also a number of bus route changes that can be found on the MBTA website.

"It's my first time running Boston. It is incredible to be here," said runner Tracey Hasse who came in from the United Kingdom.

Athletes and their families and friends have been all over Boylston Street near the finish line this weekend, getting their race numbers and some swag at the runners expo at the Hynes Convention Center.

"It's as much as part of the tradition as anything anymore, like buying an official race jacket," said runner Mike Moon, who's visiting from Canada. This will be his 28th Boston Marathon.

"In fact, I'm going to write a book and it's going to be called just 'Why?' Why would you do this every year? This is 28, don't know if this will be the last," Moon said.

Hasse came to Boston with six family members and friends

"My running journey started with just a challenge and it's taken me all over the world. I am about to become a six-star finisher here after three years. I started running and never stopped running," she said.

Jason Hoberman of New Jersey is one of the thousands of runners raising money for charity. He's running on behalf of his wife who recently beat leukemia. 

"I joined the Blood Cancer United team to support blood cancer research. Because of research she was able to get through this and here she is," Hoberman said.

"Never give up hope and keep fighting for your family and what you believe in and stay positive and hopefully research continues and we can put an end to all these horrible diseases," his wife Tracey Hoberman said.

There were also crowds of runners at the Fan Fest in City Hall Plaza.

"This is a celebration for both the runners and the non-runners. Food, entertainment, activities for kids. We've got activities for adults," event organizer Scott Halstead said. 

The Boston Marathon starts just after 9 a.m. Monday in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The 26.2-mile course runs through Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton and Brookline. It ends on Boylston Street in Boston. This will be the 130th running of the race.
