JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Gate River Run is the biggest road race in town, but the Boston Marathon is arguably the most prestigious race in the country.
Numerous athletes with area ties competed in the 126th Boston event on Monday, with 65 local runners finishing the 26.2-mile course.

Nico Montanez, last month’s Gate River Run men’s champion, was with the lead pack for a bit. That was impressive on its own merits, but even more so when you consider Montanez had a root canal on Saturday night. He finished 29th in 2 hours, 19 minutes, 23 seconds.
Jacksonville resident Jeff Tomaszewski was the top male finisher from the area, finishing 609th in 2:42.19. Meghan Lederer of Atlantic Beach was the top local female runner in 3:06.26.
