“It said that the spectators at Boston will not let you drop out, they just push you back on the course.’’

— John Priester, after the 2002 Boston Marathon

The 125th Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, Oct. 11, assuming that road races are allowed as part of the Massachusetts reopening plan. In pre-COVID-19 times the marathon happened in April and presumably will again.
