“We have reached out to our partner organizations to keep you as updated as possible on the 2020 Boston Marathon. We know that there have been many news reports today, however none of these are confirmed. We’re continuing to work with all city and state officials involved in the Boston Marathon. More information will be available in the next 48 hours, and we will communicate directly with you on any necessary steps. Our collective priority is the health and safety of our participants, volunteers, partners and fans’.
