The world's oldest annual marathon, first run in 1897, and the one Abbott Major you have to qualify to enter. A point-to-point 42.195km from Hopkinton to Boston, finishing on Boylston Street every Patriots' Day.
The route
A net-downhill point-to-point that drops fast out of Hopkinton, rolls through Framingham, Natick and the Wellesley scream tunnel at halfway, then stings late with the four Newton Hills and Heartbreak Hill before the run down to Boylston Street.
Mid-April, Hopkinton → Boston
Highs around 15°C and lows around 4°C, but it has dropped to -5°C. Rain on 32% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
