For those of you who don't feel like getting up early or who want to save some energy for a bit of dancing at the end, we present the Hopkinton Half. The rules are the same: Be careful, obey all traffic signals, stay on the sidewalks, do not interfere in any way with the Boston Marathon and generally act like sensible individuals. The P503 train leaves South Station at 6:50 a.m. and Back Bay at 6:56. It stops in Wellesley Square at 7:16. From there you can walk to the "official" start line of the Wellesley Public Library and run to the Boston Public Library for a Google-Verified (YMMV) 13.1 miles. |
