1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The Boston Marathon is a race that challenges an athlete in a way that most courses do not, neither buy design or intent.&amp;nbsp; It is not a fast course.&amp;nbsp; It is not a race where any runner, elite or back of the pack, will set a marathon PR, but it is a race for which all other marathons seek to enable athletes to arrive in a small New England town for the eastward run into the heart of bean town.&amp;nbsp; This is the story of the 87th running of this event, where the last American male runner won the day, and a woman athlete named Joan ran a race for the ages.
