Photos and video from kilometer 17, in the 42 kilometer race. The 47,000 marathoners ended by passing through the Brandenburg Gate from east to west. The Boston marathon is the world’s oldest annually run marathon, with around 30,000 participants.

Orange truck sweeping up the plastic shortly after the last runner had past kilometer 17.
