Video: Locals Walk To Honor Boston Marathon Victims
An early morning run honors those affected by the Boston bombings.
Nearly 100 runners and walkers turned out for a 5K to honor the victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Of the participants, four of them were in the Boston Marathon.
Runners and walkers hit the streets shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday from Monte De Oro Winery just outside of Temecula. The course took participants about 1.5 miles down Monte De Oro Road, where they turned around and went back to Rancho California Road and headed east to the finish line at Wilson Creek Winery.

“It should not have happened.”
