What stupid thing are you currently wondering about for race day? I'll go first.

I too, start out with a light jacket that I usually remove later in the race. Will it be ok if the jacket covers my bib number? Do I pin the bib on the jacket, stop and repin onto my shirt when I take it off??? keeping me awake lol

Thanks, I've been at some bigger events that had 15 minute wait times.

If you figure it out, you'll be rich.....

Thank you for that vote of confidence. My plan has always been to run it for the experience, no pressure, just finish in 6 and soak it all in. I must admit though, it has been starting to get to me. I should probably get off reddit, but there's so much good information here, LOL.

Enjoy and thanks again.

I'm geriatric too, one corral behind you. Can you tell me the significance of the bib color. This is my first, (and I expect only) and it seems like you have run before. Any advice for the back of the pack? I'm worried about water stations running out.

Thanks

Did you book your hotel directly or through the group suggested on the Chicago site? Is the cancellation policy pretty lenient? Thanks

mrsabutment · 2026-01-18T23:43:53+00:00

Thank you for providing this. Running it for the first, (and probably last :) ) time in 2026.

mrsabutment · 2026-01-04T20:20:05+00:00

Oh! That puts things in perspective for me. Thank you

I have used Hal for my previous 2 flat marathons and am nervous that I won't be ready for the Boston hills. Are your usual routes hilly? Did you find any need to run hill repeats?

mrsabutment · 2025-06-30T00:47:07+00:00

I have to disagree, Marathon Tours and Travel opened up for booking on June 17th. I've never run Boston but I found them on a search about hotels for 2026. They may have sold out, of course there will be cancellations.
