Research shows that the event typically attracts about 500,000 spectators and requires certain qualifying times for athletes to compete. On April 15, 2013, at least two improvised explosive devices (IEDS) placed close to the finish lines of the Boston Marathon denoted approximately three hours after the winners completed the course (Berke, 2014)
