Frankfort Runner Will Compete In 2018 Boston Marathon

The 122nd running of the Boston Marathon takes place Monday, April 16, and runners from across the globe will be gathering in Boston to be tested by the 26.2-mile course from the Hopkinton start line to the famous Boylston Street finish line. That includes a Frankfort woman who is no stranger to long-distance running.

Angela Meltzer, 37, will run in this year's marathon. She's competed in the Chicago Marathon for the past two years, and on both occasions, she finished in the top five among Frankfort runners.

In 2017, Meltzer finished that race with a time of 3:30:50. She posted a time of 3:31:50 the previous year.
