I went to the finish line a bunch of times, watching people I know finishing the race. My wife used to have a garaged parking space right there at the finish line.Watched the Boston Marathon today, the only marathon I pay much attention to....probably because I use to live near where it starts
I only went to the start in Hopkinton once. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. The runners just kept coming and coming, seemed like forever. It was very exciting and the crowd was enthused and very supportive of all runners.
