Important Notes:

1) We'll meet at the coordinates above, then start as a group until we cross the start line. You may also start independently if you prefer, but you choose your own pace and speed.

2) There is no official carpool to the event but if anyone is interested in driving with others, please let the trip leaders know and they will send out an email to group members.

3) To receive AOC D6 credit for this event, you must complete the entire full marathon (26.2 miles) and cross over the official race finish line.

4) Per the 2Slow4Boston event website: As part of our support to the runners, the aid station will offer prepackaged snacks (cookies, chips, PB&J sandwiches, etc.) and we will have pizza delivered around noon. We will try to accommodate any special needs or request the best we can, however if you have concerns or prefer to bring your own snacks and food, you are welcome to set up a tray table or chair along the lawn or parking area with your supplies. There will also be a community table available to set things up.
