Marathon Participation

After the tragic Boston Marathon bombings, I am curious to see if participation in marathons will drop or rise.  I could honestly see it going either way.  Participation may drop out of fear of safety and another bombing/terrorist event.  However, I could also see it going up with people running in honor/memory of the Boston Marathon runners and to show support.  With the Pittsburgh Marathon coming up on May 5th, I'm interested to see who actually shows up.

  1. As you said, many people may feel fear of safety. But the Pittsburgh Marathon will be the opportunity to show the support and heart from Pittsburgh to Boston.
