Every third Monday each April since 1897, the fastest endurance
athletes in the world converge on Boston, Massachusetts to run
planet Earth’s most prestigious road race, the Boston Marathon.
What began with fifteen runners toeing the start on a dirt road is
now a global phenomenon, attracting millions of online viewers,
more than 500,000 spectators, and 30,000 of the fastest athletes
from 120 countries around the world. Books chronicle its storied
history. Memoirs highlight its penchant for self-transformation.
The Unofficial Boston Marathon Handbook takes a different tack,
delivering everything we need to know – how to prepare, what to
wear, how to qualify, where to celebrate, who to emulate, how to
race, and everything else critical (and not so critical) – to
ensure race-day success. In a reverent yet tongue-in-cheek style,
The Unofficial Boston Marathon Handbook educates and entertains in
equal measure. Marc W. Pollina presents us with the definitive
field guide to the Boston Marathon for participants, aspirants on
the cusp of participating, and athletes who dream of participating.
The Unofficial Boston Marathon Handbook features tips on getting
in, training, navigating Boston and the runners’ expo, racing
through each town, celebrating after the finish, shaking off the
post-race blues, and figuring out what challenge to pursue next in
one entertaining package.
