Vt. Marathon Offers Slots To Boston Runners

Organizers of Burlington’s Key Bank Vermont City Marathon are offering an opportunity for Boston Marathon runners.

Race officials are offering 150 of the remaining spaces to Boston Marathon participants who were unable to finish the race. They say the runners trained long and hard but were diverted after two bomb attacks. So now they’ll have a second chance to complete a marathon.

Marathon officials say they’ll honor those affected by the tragedy with a moment of silence at the beginning of the race.
