If you're planning to be in Boston when this exciting event takes place, you have two
different options for enjoying it.The first option is easy: join the other hundreds of thousands
of Boston visitors and Bostonians who line the race course to watch it. If you
choose this spot to watch, be warned: the crowds are huge! The Marathon is New
England's most widely viewed sport.If the weather is good, as many as half a million
spectators come out to watch the race - and you'll swear that they're all in
Copley Square. Although the Marathon begins southwest of the city in Hopkinton and continues east
through several suburban towns, all of which provide excellent viewpoints, the easiest observation points are
those near subway (called the "T" in Boston) stations.In Newton, where the runners follow a
925 silver course along Commonwealth Avenue (including the infamous Heartbreak Hill between Miles 20 and 21), you'll
find a stretch near Boston College and the Chestnut Hill Reservoir that's usually not too
crowded and offers a lovely spot for a picnic as a bonus. Take the T
to any of these stations, and you'll find plenty of curbside spots with an easy
view of the racers.As the runners continue on Commonwealth Avenue toward the city, the crowds
get thicker, especially around Boston University where groups of students compete to see who can
cheer the loudest. However, if you don't mind large and loud crowds, there's no more
exciting place to be. On the third Monday of every April, the Boston Marathon brings
together the top runners from all over the world to compete in this famous 26
Tn Requin mile, 385 yard race across the rolling suburban countryside outside of Boston and finally through
the city's streets. The fastest runners usually cross the finish line not long after noon,
but the remainder continue to arrive throughout the afternoon.The other option for enjoying the Marathon
is harder - quite a bit harder, in fact - and takes more preparation: you
can run in the Marathon yourself, along with 24,999 other participants.But first, you have to
qualify.The Boston Marathon is the only U.S. Marathon with qualifying time standards, which is why
it's so prestigious. The "B" branch of the T's Green Line has 3 stations in
this area: Boston College, South Street, and Chestnut Hill Ave. The Boston Red Sox traditionally
play a home game in Fenway Park on Marathon Day each year, starting at 11:05
and ending in time for the crowds to pour out into Kenmore Square to cheer
on the runners as they enter the final mile.The most crowded and perhaps the most
exciting place to watch the Boston Marathon is near the finish line in Copley Square
across from the Boston Public Library. You must achieve the qualifying time for your age/gender
group on a U.S.A Track and Field certified course (or international equivalent) within approximately 19
months before the date of the Marathon in which you want to run. Can you
do it? You won't know unless you try - so off your running shoes and
start training now!Susan writes about favorite Boston sports, attractions, restaurants, hotels, and fun things to
