There will be a dozen runners from the Daily Journal circulation area in Monday’s Boston Marathon.

That group includes the top area finisher from a year ago, Bret Beauchamp of Oxford. He finished 1,157th overall in 2:57:19 and will be looking for his fourth consecutive Boston finish.

Corinth’s Kenneth Williams, 70, will be trying to finish the Boston race for the 11th time. He ran a 4:08:02 last year and finished 68th in his division, 17,670 overall.

There were 12 area finishers last year.

You can follow the race online at www.baa.org and on the Universal Sports TV network starting at 8:30 a.m., where available.
