The 2025 Boston Marathon, the historic annual race, is here. The marathon captures the city's culture and traditions, making it a must-see event each year.
The 129th Boston Marathon takes place annually on the third Monday in April, coinciding with Patriots' Day, a Massachusetts state holiday that commemorates the start of the American Revolution. This marathon is open to both professional and recreational runners who meet specific qualifying standards. Additionally, it features Para Athletic divisions and a wheelchair division.
The race begins in waves at the starting point in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and takes runners on a scenic journey through Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, and Brookline.
