Hi everyone!
We’re excited to see many of you for our Boston Marathon watch social this Monday, April 20th.
Meeting point and time (important!)
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: https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/the-course/
Getting there: Take the Green Line B branch to Boston College. Trains may be crowded, so plan a bit of extra time.
What to bring: Snacks and drinks if you’d like, and comfortable shoes — we’ll likely be standing and walking.
Day-of coordination:  I’ll keep an eye on Slack messages in case you need help finding us (connection permitting) - https://mit.enterprise.slack.com/team/U04HHQT7R6W
Looking forward to cheering together!
Best,
PDA Sports Committee
