Colorado Runner - Colorado's running news, events and results source

Sixty-two Colorado runners started the Boston Marathon on Monday, but never made it to the finish line. Margaret Shugrue of Arvada was less than a mile from the finish when the explosions occurred.

From Colorado this year, 372 runners were able to finish the Boston Marathon. Some of those runners have shared their stories with Colorado Runner.

It's hard to believe that Nicole Chyr didn't get into distance running until her college years.  What's possibly even more surprising is that Nicole has a 6-year old son, works a full-time job, and still has time to put in 75-mile weeks and garner top honors in Colorado's top races.
