More than 500 groups and 20,000 people around the world gathered to run in honor of the Boston Marathon on Wednesday, April 17. One of those groups met in Stonington, as more than 60 area residents gathered in the late afternoon sun for a run through Stonington. The event was organized by Holly Eaton and included a moment of silence led by Dwight Staples. People then walked or ran, many wearing or carrying signs in support of the runners of the marathon and the residents of Boston.
