Annual Boston 10K for Women's race won by Allston's Erika Kemp
BOSTON -- The annual Boston 10K for Women took place on Saturday. Runners hit the course at 9 a.m.
The course begins on Boston Common and takes runners down Beacon Street, through Back Bay, and across the Charles River.
The race is the second longest-running all-women's race in the world.
Nearly 4,000 women were expected to participate.
Erika Kemp, who runs professionally for Team B.A.A., won the race this year.
"The course was amazing. I was super stoked to find out that most of it is my easy run spot, so the course is very familiar to me. I run that section of the Charles and that bridge two to three times a week so I just felt very at home on the course," she said.
