UPDATED: More Reports of Burlington Marathon Runners Safe

Updated April 16 at 1 p.m.

We have been receiving more updates on Burlington runners.

Today we have been told by one reader that Peter DaMore, Rob Mclaughlin and Serra Langone are all safe.

We were also told that Marie Shay and family are all safe. They were one street over when the explosions went off and managed to make it home to Burlington yesterday afternoon.

Also, Burlington Cable Access Television (BCAT) posted to it's Facebook page that Executive Director Jen Dodge, who was running in the Boston Marathon, is also safe.

Original Story

We are starting to get reports on the status of Burlington Boston Marathon runners in the wake of an explosion at the finish line.

The reports are from Facebook followers of Burlington Patch that we believe are reliable but they are not direct confirmation.

We were told that Andy Merlino, Jean Fahey, Rachel Bainbridge and Brendan Stapleton (of Fitness Together) are all safe.

If you were a runner or know that other runners are safe, or if they are injured, please let us know in the comments section below or email Richard.Hosford@Patch.com. We will continue to work to find the status of our other runners and will update as soon as we find more information.

Here's a list of the Boston Marathon runners from Burlington.
