  • There will be two locations for you to exit from the Boylston Street finish area to the Family Meeting Area, shown on the map below. 
  • If you use the Gear Check on Boylston Street, after retrieving your bag you will still need to exit following the path described above.

What's Your Plan
  • Remember to make a plan with loved ones on where to meet post-race. The Family Meeting Area on Stuart, Berkeley, and Clarendon Streets feature alphabetical signs for easy reuniting.
  • Be sure to fill out your medical history and emergency contacts pre-race. This helps the B.A.A. in case you need aid at any time on race day.
  • Encourage your spectators to follow your progress on course using the B.A.A. Racing App.
  • Be patient after the finish! It can take time to proceed through the finish system, up to 30 minutes in some cases. Spectators needing assistance reuniting with participants can speak with volunteers at the Information Booth in the Family Meeting Area.
