Cleveland Marathon Among Many Considering Security Upgrades

Organizers of the Cleveland Marathon say discussions are underway about adding security for the event next month. This follows the explosions at the Boston Marathon that killed or injured several people on Monday. Executive Director Jack Staph says organizers currently plan to add more police patrols and bomb-sniffing dogs.

  Several other running race organizers in Ohio are considering adding security.
