On Monday April 20, the 26.2 miles connecting Hopkinton, MA to Boylston Street in Boston will be quieter than the day’s original intention — the 124th Boston Marathon. Instead, America’s historic race will be held on September 14th due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the thousands of would-be runners and devoted spectators who are now sheltering indoors, there is sure to be a little bit of melancholy for what the day could have been.
But NBC Sports has stepped in to help the run community fill the void while doing their duty of staying home. In place of what would be their 2020 Boston Marathon coverage, Olympic Channel will kick off Marathon Week starting with 20 hours of past Boston footage. Tune in at 6 a.m. ET to see each of the last six races. Relive Meb Keflezighi’s incredible 2014 win, Galen Rupp’s nail-biting second place bid in 2017, or Des Linden’s absolutely unforgettable triumph in 2018.
The rest of the week will feature re-runs of some of the other World Marathon Majors (Berlin, Chicago, Tokyo), with a Sunday finale of the London Marathon, 2016 through 2019. Sunday April 26 was the original scheduled date for the 2020 London Marathon, which was postponed until October 4.
All in all, running fans will have the opportunity to binge almost 70 hours of marathons.
