Bill Iffrig back in action at the popular 12-K.
Bill Iffrig, who was knocked over by the first Boston Marathon bombing as he was about to finish the marathon, returns to racing at Sunday's Bloomsday Run in Spokane, Washington.
The image of Iffrig on his back in the immediate aftermath of the first bomb was seen around the world, and was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
The 78-year-old resident of Lake Stevens, Washington told the Spokesman-Review that he'll wear the orange singlet he had on at Boston.
After being knocked over by the bombing, Iffrig resumed running, and finished the marathon in 4:03:47.
