An all-female running crew has sued police and Boston Marathon organizers over alleged racial discrimination last year when officers blocked the group's path to cheer on sprinters. The lawsuit, which was filed Thursday days ahead of the 2024 race, centers around a 2023 video that shows Newton police officers setting up a barricade at Mile 21, where the TrailblazHers have cheered on their fellow runners for the past four years. The group claims the human barricade of police blocked over 100 people, mostly people of color, from viewing the race.
