SPECTATOR GUIDE
FIRST OF ALL, AGAIN FOR 2025, SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED AT THE START LINES! This is a massive change from previous years. Spectators have their own corrals in the middle of Park Blvd that will allow you to watch the starts happening on both sides of Park Blvd. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, ON MARATHON SUNDAY SPECTATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED ANY BAGS IN THE START LINE SPECTATOR AREAS. IF YOU BRING A BAG TO THE START LINE AREA YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
SECOND OF ALL, WE HAVE LIVE ATHLETE TRACKING!
