Pre-Race Facilities in
Hopkinton:
Again this year Holly
Schenker has graciously
offered the use of her
home in Hopkinton to our
runners. Holly's
house is
approximately three
miles from the starting
line just west of Route
85.
To accommodate the first
wave of runners (those
starting at 10:00 am)
the first van will leave
Holly's at 9:00 am and
will take runners to the
Hopkinton State Park
Shuttle Bus; the second
van which will
accommodate those in the
second wave (those
starting at 10:30) will
leave Holly's at 9:30 am
and will take runners to
the Hopkinton State Park
Shuttle Bus.
Runners are responsible
for bringing their own
food and drinks with
them to Hopkinton (none
will be provided by the
club).
Runners should also be
sure to bring some
throwaway clothes items
and rain gear in case of
cold and/or inclement
weather. Once again, we
regret that the use of
Holly's house is limited
strictly to those
individuals on our
pre-approved list.
Club Singlets &
T-shirts:
So that we can easily
spot you along the
marathon route, please
be sure to wear your
club singlet (or other
club apparel).
Baggage Transportation:
Runners' bags will be
transported in one of
the vans to our race
recovery center in
Boston. Be sure
that your bag is clearly
marked with your name
and bib tear-off.
Also be sure to bring
some throw-away clothing
to keep you warm in the
starting corrals.
IMPORTANT!: Please do not
store any valuables in
your bag
(baggage will be left
unattended for a period
of time).
The baggage van will
leave Hopkinton for the
trip to Boston after
transporting runners to
the Hopkinton start
area.
Post-Race Recovery Area:
All
recovery center
activities will be
managed this year by
Carol Pepin-Ware.
Please
email Carol if you'd
like to help out on race
day.

Revolution Fitness
(same location as in
prior years) has
graciously offered us
the use of their
facilities as our
post-race recovery
center. The club
will be available for
our use until 5:00 pm.
Revolution Fitness is
located at 209 Columbus
Avenue, between Berkeley
and Clarendon Streets.
Plenty of shower
facilities are available
(please bring your own
towel). Light food
and drinks will be
provided.
We
have arranged for a
number of therapists who
will be providing
courtesy massages from
noon to approximately 5:00
pm.
Family and friends are
welcome to join us at
the recovery center.
The cell phone contact
number (for runners and
their families) at the
