FRAMINGHAM, MA - April 15th has more meaning than "tax day" when it falls on the third Monday in the month of April. "That Monday" has been marked on calendar since 1897 as the day of the running on Boston Marathon.

Thanks to Framingham photographer Wayne Dion, who worked from an aerial position, we've got a birds-eye view of the marathon as runners make their way through Downtown Framingham ---
