26 Miles to Boston

26 Miles to Boston: The Boston Marathon Experience from Hopkinton to Copley Square 26 Miles to Boston: The Boston Marathon Experience from Hopkinton to Copley Square by Michael Connelly


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Very well-researched book tracing the course of the Boston Marathon, and telling stories and anecdotes from each mile, interspersed with the author's own story of running the race. Unfortunately, 1) despite the 2003 copyright, his race was the 1996 running, which just seems like an era ago, and 2) he ran as a bandit - an unregistered runner. Apparently there's something of a tradition of that in Boston, though.

I can believe that- considering the qualifying times to even enter in the Boston marathon~
