TRAVEL PACKAGE DETAILS
THE RACE
This event is definitely up there with the Marathon to Athens course as being the most famous route from Hopkinton to Boston, and it has been around as long as the modern Olympics. The start of the race, in the quaint suburban town of Hopkinton with its white weather-board houses, is sharply down hill. It remains like that until around 16 miles when you hit the 3 tough climbs that culminate in Heart Break Hill! Surviving that it is more or less downhill to the finish in the heart of Boston.
THE HOTEL
We return to the first class 4* Holiday Inn Select at Boston Government Centre, which is situated at the foot of Beacon Hill in downtown Boston, with its Georgian style houses and cobbled streets and only a short walk from the race finish and Boston Common, where the official buses leave to transport you to the start of the race in Hopkinton.
All rooms have bathrooms en suite, hair dryer, colour TV, internet access and air conditioning. The hotel has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and has an excellent restaurant and bar (Fosters Bar and Grille), as well as a 24hr fitness centre.
