I don't know about SRP members running, but I do know that the one person I know who ran it was safely back at his hotel and sleeping by the time of the explosions. Here's hoping everyone else has similarly good news.
News reports are stating 2 dead and 24 injured, some very seriously, at present. Let's hope that they get whoever did this very quickly.
Edit; up to 86 injured now, as of 6:15 PM
Really sad that just about every popular event carries with it the threat of something like this. Hope they find the perpetrators.
According to Newsmax, police have a Saudi national under guard in a hospital.
Many with leg amputations:(
such a shame, saw it all day at work. guy i work with had a couple family members that were injured (not to badly though). one day i will run the boston, have the nashville marathon on the 27th
I want to run Boston also. Kinda makes you second guess ever doing a big race, but if you do the assholes who did this win.
This is a terrible thing. My thoughts are with everyone effected.

Live news has taken over TV here in the Boston area.
My wife knows a few people who ran it, but didn't finish because the race was stopped early. All runners are OK.
