The 2014 Boston Marathon will take place in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday, April 21 (Patriots Day). It will be the 118th edition of the mass-participation marathon. The race is organized by the Boston Athletic Association. Due to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, extra security measures will be implemented this year. The 2014 Marathon has about 36,000 registered participants, second only to the 1996 race in number of entries. The Boston Globe reported that over a million people are expected to line the marathon route to watch the race, twice the number who attend during a typical year.
