There's a running thread on /r/news which is being updated regularly. Most complete and up-to-date source I've found thus far.

Just saw this on yahoo and was able to look up a friend of mine from high school who ran in it today:

"If you are concerned for a friend that ran the #BostonMarathon today, you can see their last check-in here:"

Individual - Boston Athletic Association - BAA.org

Check that. Seems like they just took them all down. They had 4 up, Boston FD, Boston Metro FD, Boston PD and MAss SP.


EDIT: Boston FD is back up. Maybe they are just jammed up with users.
