Whoever it was it was well thought out to cause the most injurys, one explosion stops the race in it's tracks and 10 seconds later a bomb closer to the race track itself to "get" the stopped runners. reports of ball bearings,nails..etc and about 12 reported people who lost limbs tells me this was not just a nutjob.

C4 is relatively easy to get anywhere if you have money and connections, it is available to demolitions guys on the civilian market and gets stolen occasionally.
It is impossible to know at this stage but this has all the hall marks of a couple of small pipe bombs which is relatively unsophisticated by 'real terrorist' standards
