The 2010 Hopkinton Hop will have a couple of options, depending on how foolish one feels on race day. - Original 50K:
- Run 3 miles into Back Bay as a warmup
- Catch Amtrack train to Framingham
- Run from Framingham to Hopkinton. (Tradition says to stop shy of the start of the other race, so that you have a reason to run that one someday.)
- Run from Hopkinton back into Boston.
- Report mileage and time based on GPS unit, stopwatch or other Google Maps.
- Short Option (26.2 miles or more, depending on how often you get lost):
- Somehow get to Hopkinton
- Run to Boston
- Report time and distance based on GPS unit, stopwatch or other Google Maps.
- Ultra Option (requires BQ):
- Check in at Back Bay train station
- Run to Hopkinton.
- Stretch legs and report time.
- Turn around and run Boston Marathon.
- Gloat.
