Hello Runners! Are you running Boston on April 21st?  If so, you’ll probably want in on the (in)famous GLRR Boston Bus! It is a coach bus providing transportation to the start line in Hopkinton and from the finish line in Boston after the race.  Here are the benefits of signing up: Pre-Race: Avoid the port-a-potties in Hopkinton.  You can use the bathroom on the coach bus.

Post-Race: A friendly face.  A GLRR volunteer will be waiting for…
