We’ve already acknolwedged Versus for its wire-to-wire coverage of the Boston Marathon on Monday. But Patriots Day isn’t a holiday in these parts, so you might be stuck behind your desk and nowhere near a TV. Besides, Versus is unlikely to mention any of the 150 or so runners from the area participating; they’ll focus their coverage on the favorites. So, to follow the locals, here are a couple options:

1. World Championship Sports Network (WCSN), will broadcast the race beginning at 8:25 a.m. St. Louis time. Just log onto WCSN.com, but do it early. Usually, these sites are inundated at the last minute. Normally a pay-per-view site, the webcast will be free, thanks to the largesse of marathonguide.com and adidas.

2. The Boston Athletic Association will publish every 5K split of every runner on its website. The only catch is that you have to wait until race day, Monday, to sign in at the marathon’s website. On race day, just enter the name or bib number of the runner or runners you want to follow.

Happy viewing.
