Are you running Boston on April 17th? If so, you’ll want to arrive in style with your teammates on the Famous GLRR Boston Bus!
The bus provides for transportation to Hopkinton, and from Boston after the race. The bus leaves from Cawley Stadium in Lowell at 6:45am (subject to change per the BAA requirements). Before the race you can use the bus bathroom (to avoid the Hopkinton port-a-johns) and enjoy a nice pre-race massage to get you loose and ready. You can leave your gear on the bus as you head to the start line. Your gear will be transported to Boston.
After you finish, GLRR has reserved rooms at the Park Plaza (less than ½ a mile from the finish area) where your bags, hot showers, massage, post-race food and beverages await. Relax with your teammates and revel in your accomplishment.
Once everyone is accounted for – the bus will return you to Cawley Stadium. This is usually at about 7:00pm, but you can forgo the ride back if you have alternative transportation from Boston. (Please just let us know).
The Requirements:
- Everyone must be a registered Boston Marathon runner.
- Everyone must be a current (paid up) member of GLRR.
- The price is set at $100 for access to everything (If you have your own transportation to and from the race and you are only interested in the hotel side of things, it is $80)
The signup link is below, it’s live and it’s first come first serve.
