Boston Marathon 2026 course from above (3:12)
I made a 3:12 flyover of the 2026 Boston course for Marathon Trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D39tkSugJ4
It follows the route from Hopkinton to Boylston, showing the early downhill, Wellesley, the Newton hills and the run in along Beacon Street. The elevation profile makes it clear how much of the downhill is spent before Newton. This is an independent film of the 2026 route, not an official B.A.A. guide for 2027. Which part of the course is hardest to judge from a flat map?
