It’s Patriots Day in Boston and that usually means a day filled with re-enactments of the battles of Lexington and Concord, day baseball at Fenway Park, and, of course, the Boston Marathon. It’s always an incredible day as thousands of runners make their way from Hopinkton to Boylston Street in downtown Boston. One of my favorite moments is when the Red Sox game lets out and thousands of baseball fans join race spectators to cheer on runners in their final miles.
Boston is an incredibly special race. The race is capped at right around 30,000 runners each year.
