This year marks the 10th anniversary of the bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon that caused three deaths, hundreds of injuries and entire Massachusetts towns to shut down during the ensuing manhunt.
The attack remains a talking point among race directors from Boston to Los Angeles as participant and spectator security became top of mind. In the immediate aftermath, races changed policies, increased security, and overall vigilance went up. Dan Cruz has been organizing running events big and small for 15 years. He said conversations shifted around security following the Boston Marathon bombing.
The Chicago Marathon, which is one of three World Majors held in the U.S. every year, immediately changed its policies after 2013. It began requiring participants to pick up their own race packets, check gear in clear bags given by the race. In addition, all participants and their bags are screened before reaching the start/finish line area.
