Nike and Adidas, which is one of the Boston Marathon's sponsors, had several employees at the event in addition to sponsored runners. "Most of our team has been accounted for," said
Mikal Peveto, Portland, Ore.-based Adidas America director of running. Peveto said the process of accounting for all staff members is not complete. "Not yet. Not yet. We're going through that process
right now," said Peveto, who returned to his Portland home Sunday night. Peveto estimated that Adidas corporate and Adidas Running had about 100 people at the marathon, including Patrik Nilsson,
president of Adidas America, which has its North American headquarters in Portland. Nilsson was at Boston International Airport at the time of the explosion, Peveto said.
