Managed by the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) the Boston Marathon® is the world’s oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world’s most prestigious road racing events. It is the only Abbott World Marathon Majors race that requires a qualifying performance time. Held annually on Patriot’s Day, a holiday celebrated in Massachusetts and Maine in observance of the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, the Boston Marathon is rich in history and tradition. The legendary point-to-point course starts in rural Hopkinton and passes through numerous quaint New England towns before finishing on Boylston Street in the heart of Boston.
