The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 117th running of the annual marathon race in Boston, United States, which took place on April 15, 2013. Organized by the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.), it hosted the second of the World Marathon Majors to be held in 2013 with over 23,000 runners participating. Lelisa Desisa won the men's race with a time of 2:10:22, and Rita Jeptoo won the women's with a time of 2:26:25. Hiroyuki Yamamoto won the men's wheelchair race in 1:25:32 and Tatyana McFadden won the women's in 1:45:25.
The event was disrupted and largely overshadowed by a terrorist attack in which two consecutive explosions on the sidewalk, near the finish line, killed three spectators and injured hundreds of others. The competition was suspended and many runners were unable to participate in the remainder of the competition. The attack received widespread international media attention.
