<b>Meeting point and time (important!)</b><br>
We’ll meet at 10:30 AM near Boston College (Green Line B) — but not directly at the T stop (it will likely be very crowded). Instead, please head to Commonwealth Avenue and cross to the course side of the street (opposite the Boston College T station), where
the runners pass. There is a designated spectator crossing point there. We’ll gather near Medical Aid Station 18, just after Heartbreak Hill (around mile 22). This spot should make it much easier to find each other while still being right in the action. After
11:00 AM, we may move depending on crowd conditions, so we are not tied to this exact spot. You can explore the official course (including aid stations and crossings) here:
