Roughly 100 people came out to the Moorestown High School track Tuesday night to run a "silent mile" for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. 

The runners—a mix of students, including members of the lacrosse team, and adults—took four laps around the track, candles in hand, to honor those affected by the tragedy. 

The tribute came together quickly, after the Running Company of Moorestown, Haddonfield and Mullica Hill put out a call for runners on Facebook Tuesday morning. It was one of a number of efforts across the country to organize runners in support of the victims in Boston.
