Marathon Monday is Here! There’s no doubt that this will be one of the most watched Marathons in the history of the race. As a past marathon runner, one of the best motivators pushing you to the finish line is having the spectators lining the course from Hopkinton to Back Bay. From barbeques on front lawns in the suburbs to roof decks and balconies in Brookline, on Marathon Monday, the already prime frontage along the marathon course will take on elite status.
