Marathon Monday: Who's Running in Charlestown

Whether they're running to raise money for cancer research, in memory of a loved one, to stay in shape or just because, more than 80 Charlestown residents are expected to hit the streets today, joining about 20,000 runners in the 117th annual Boston Marathon.

Considered to be the world's oldest annual marathon, the Boston Marathon is organized each year by the Boston Athletic Association, sponsored by John Hancock Financial Services, and stretches 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish line in Boston, at Copley Square. (See the Boston Globe's interactive race map for more details of the route.)
