Check the organizer’s announcementBefore you make a plan
- Compare a neighborhood viewing spot with the Boylston Street finish area. The B.A.A. spectator guide describes viewing areas in Natick, Wellesley, Newton, Brookline and Boston.
- Use the organizer's spectator guide and current MBTA schedules together. Road closures and station access can affect a plan to see a runner at more than one location.
- Check 2027 registration information separately from spectator plans. A confirmed race date does not mean entry is available, and 2026 expo or transport details may change.
