have a complete, live, national telecast.

The 2008 Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, April 21, 2008, Patriots'
Day in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The race will begin with the
Elite Women's Start at 9:35 a.m.

"We're excited to once again partner with WBZ-TV and VERSUS to make the
Boston Marathon the only U.S. road race to air live, wire-to-wire, locally
and nationally," said Guy Morse, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic
Association. "Boston is one of the most prestigious races in the world, so
it's fitting to have such respected outlets as television partners so that
our race can be enjoyed by fans around Boston and across the country on
April 21."
