Offering an inside look at the most famous marathon in the world, this exploration traces the Boston Marathon's 26.2mile route from the starting line on narrow Main Street in Hopkinton to the Boylston Street finish line in downtown Boston, bringing to life the history, personalities, pivotal moments, and individual character of each city the race traverses. The Boston Marathon includes wellresearched briefs on topics including Metcalfs Mill at Ashland, the unmarked starting point of the first race in 1897, the infamous 1967 battle over Kathrine Switzers attempt to compete five years before women were allowed, and other vital raceday elements. The book also includes a tribute to the victims of the tragic 2013 bombing near the finish line. This is a supremely entertaining glimpse at the history of the greatest running event in the worldfrom wacky entrants to hardfisted managers, tortured disappointments, and glorious triumph.
