11 Days. Getting to Hopkinton and Start Line Area

Getting to Hopkinton

Take the B.A.A. buses from Boston to Hopkinton! The B.A.A. recommends all athletes get to the start in Hopkinton by using the official B.A.A. buses. DO NOT arrive too early for your bus loading time! You won’t be allowed to board the buses if you’re early and you don’t want to be standing on your feet too long. We recommend coming to see us at Starbucks no earlier than 30-minutes before your bus loading time.

Team Photographers, Steve and Tony!

Runners, our team photographers, Steve (L) and Tony (R), will be in Hopkinton at Pan Thai Restaurant (pink circle on the map below) which is along the street where you will line up in your wave/corrals. Make sure you hug the right-hand side of the road as you head to the starting line, so you see them and smile big!
