Hasbrouck Heights Boston Marathon Runner OK

A Hasbrouck Heights man who ran the Boston Marathon Monday is said to be okay following two explosions which erupted at the race finish line, a source close to the family tells Patch.

George Veliky, 40, of Hasbrouck Heights completed the race in just a little more than 3 hours, about an hour before the first explosion. 

According to the marathon entrants list there were no other runners listed from Hasbrouck Heights.

According to Patch reports from the Boston area, two people have been confirmed dead and dozens injured in the aftermath of the explosions.

A loud explosion was heard near a bridge that marks the finish line in the annual race, the New York Times reported. A third explosion occurred later at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, which police told CNN is likely connected to the marathon bombings.

PBS reports 562 runners from New Jersey among the 23,000 in the race.
