If you’ve seen any of the videos of the explosion, or the picture above, you’ve probably seen an older runner who crumbles to the ground at the moment of the explosion. Turns out that he was fine other than a scraped knee, and got back up to complete the race, finishing 2nd in his age group. His name is Bill Iffrig, and he is 78-years-old. This was his 45th marathon finish. Remarkable!
