Boston Marathon: 2013 Television and Internet Schedule and Viewing Information

by LetsRun.com
April 13, 2013

One of the reason’s we’ve always loved the Boston Marathon is that for a long time it was the only US major that was broadcast live nationally. This year, you can once again watch it live for free. Additionally, there will be a lot of simultaneous commentary on LetsRun.com on our “World Famous Message Boards” as watching a stream at work may get you fired but a static webpage is easier to cover up.

There are three different ways to watch Monday’s marathon. Since most of you will be at work, your best bet is to stream it on the Internet. There are three Internet streams.
