Several runners had Boston Marathon 2018 qualifying times and will wait to find out whether they are selected or not.

More than 1,800 runners participated in the inaugural marathon, half-marathon and 5K events.

Second place overall honors went to 29 year-old Ryan Lucker with a finish time of 2:51:29.

Lucker is also a teacher and cross country coach at South High.
