THE RUN AROUND
A
On Your Mark: Thousands of athletes gather
in Hopkinton’s Town Common and at Main and
Hayden Streets after being entertained in the
Athletes’ Village (Hopkinton High School) in the
hours before the race’s start.
B
Stamp of Approval: Hopkinton’s post office
is named for Thomas J. Brown, a thirty-year
postmaster who was also president of the Boston
Athletic Association.
C
Fire Away: The George V. Brown sculpture in
Hopkinton Town Common depicts the 20-year
B.A.A. athletic director firing the starting gun, an
honor he performed for two decades in the early
20th century.
A View From the Top: The starting line in
A self-guided tour of MetroWest’s Boston Marathon sites
Hopkinton Town Common is the race’s highest
point, at 450 feet above sea level.
D
Start Ups: From 1987 to 1923, the race started in
Ashland. It moved west to Hopkinton to conform
to the Olympic standard of 26 miles, 385 yards.
Marathon Park, on Pleasant Street a half-mile north
of the current course, commemorates the original
starting line.
E
Melting Pot: When the temperature reached 84
degrees on race day in 1927, a portion of Route 135—
newly surfaced but uncured—melted under the
runners’ shoes.
F
Pace Maker: 1936 Marathon winner Ellison “Tarzan”
M. Brown ran so quickly that he beat the press
vehicles to the first checkpoint in Framingham.
G
Stopped in Their Tracks: In 1907, the race was
temporarily interrupted when a train switched
tracks at the Framingham train depot, cutting
across the course and halting all but the lead pack
of six competitors, who kept running.
H
Hey Look Me Over: Hansen’s Electrical Supply,
at 64 Waverly Street in Framingham, is the first
opportunity for runners to see themselves, thanks
to the store’s mirrored front window.
I
Dip 'n Drip: Running between Natick’s Fiske Pond
and Lake Cochituate, Ellison “Tarzan” Brown jumped
in to cool off before resuming the race.
J
Chasing Pavement: John A. Kelley started the race
61 times, beginning in 1928. He finished 58 Boston
Marathons and won in 1935 and 1945. He hung up
his running shoes in 1991 at age 83.
K
Hometown Favorites: Wayland resident Alberto
Salazar was the first MetroWest resident to win the
Marathon in 1982. The second was Wellesley citizen
Greg Meyer, just one year later.
L
Can You Hear Me Now? Because Wellesley College
students cheer so loudly when runners pass by, this
stretch of the course is known as the Screaming
Tunnel.
M
Halfway point
Thank you to the Boston Athletic Association for providing a history of the Marathon.

MARATHON RULES
METROWESTVISITORS.ORG
2014 marathon rules
18
The Spirit of the Marathon
The determined spirit of the long-distance runner is exemplified by
this statue at the course’s one-mile mark. Mico Kaufman’s sculpture,
“The Spirit of the Marathon,” honors the 1946 winner of the 50th
Boston Marathon, Stylianos Kyriakides. Having barely escaped
execution during World War II, and emaciated by lack of food in warravaged Greece, Kyriakides overtook other runners to cross the finish
line first, shouting, “For Greece!” Commissioned by the Hopkinton
Athletic Association, the sculpture also depicts Spiridon Louis, who
won the marathon at the first modern Olympics in 1896.
At the 118th running of the Boston Marathon, the experience for spectators as
well as runners will be guided by these new rules.
GETTING TO HOPKINTON
• Hopkinton roads close at 7am.
• O n-street parking is not allowed in Hopkinton on the morning of the race.
• H opkinton State Park lot and BAA shuttle is for volunteers
Step Lively
The rhythm of the runners’ steps isn’t the only beat you’ll hear in
downtown Framingham. At the intersection of routes 126 and 135,
family-friendly, high-energy music will be rocking the crossroads as
part of Framingham Downtown Renaissance’s Six Mile Moment, an
annual festival on April 21. FDR will be livestreaming the race all day for
those who can’t make it to the route in person. But you have to show
up in person for the face-painting, food, and cheering!
and spectators only. Registered runners using the State
Park shuttle will not be transported to the Athletes’ Village.
They will have to walk an additional one mile from the dropoff point to the Athletes’ Village.
• South Street lot: Runners should park in the South Street
lot, where BAA shuttles will take them to the Athletes’ Village. This lot will fill early.
• H otel shuttles: For shuttles from MetroWest hotels to the
South Street lot, please call 508-903-7052.
• Runner drop-off is allowed at the South Street lot.
• S ecurity measures may slow access from the parking
areas for spectators and runners. Plan accordingly and give
yourself ample time. Expect delays!
• S creening: In Hopkinton, runners and spectators will walk
Petal Pushers
It took hundreds of volunteers and tens fof thousands of dollars—
including support from the MetroWest Visitors Bureau’s botanic
garden members (see page 6)—for the Marathon Daffodils group to
plant 100,000 bulbs along the Boston Marathon route. The cost per
mile of the route: $1000. Labor: $0. Having a blooming yellow border
guide 36,000 runners: priceless.

through screening booths. Please allow extra time for this
process.
