Marathon Sports

On Marathon Monday, the Marathon Sports location on Boylston Street lost its window and some inventory. But the staffers here never abandoned their single-minded runners’ focus: Clothes for sale became tourniquets, and employees became makeshift nurses. Today, the store is back open for business, and doing what all Marathon Sports locations do best—putting you in a great pair of shoes.
