Reuters reports:

Organizers of Monday’s Boston Marathon have put extra safety measures in place and are encouraging some runners to sit out the event entirely on what is projected to be one of the hottest days in the race’s 116-year history.

“If the temperatures reach certain levels, running will put even the most fit athletes at risk for heat injury,” the Boston Athletic Association said in an advisory on Saturday.
