I love the Boston Marathon. Having raced it nine times, I've come to obsess and admire all of its details.

In 2018 I wrote this article for Runnersworld about how to approach the course.

If you're racing, have a wonderful day. If you're cheering, scream your lungs out. And if you're considering putting in the work to someday arrive in Hopkinton to run, I'm promise you that it's worth the effort.
