It’s Marathon Monday in Boston, and we’re diving deep into the legacy of the world’s most iconic footrace. In this episode of Sportly, Kavitha Davidson breaks down what makes the Boston Marathon so special, from its historic first race in 1897 to the Wellesley Scream Tunnel, Heartbreak Hill, and the spirit of resilience that followed the 2013 bombing. The episode explores what it takes to qualify, how the race has evolved, and why it continues to hold a near-mythic status among runners. Whether you’re racing today or cheering from the sidelines, this one’s for you.
