The Boston Marathon attracts many spectators eager to cheer on participants. Key viewing spots include the starting line in Hopkinton, known for its atmosphere but crowded with runners. T.K. Skenderian, a former communications director at the Boston Athletic Association, suggests parking at Hopkinton State Park for easier access. Meanwhile, Ashland provides a less crowded viewing area to see elite runners but can be challenging if you're trying to spot specific individuals, as racers are tightly packed during that segment.
If you want to go to the starting line, I would recommend parking at Hopkinton State Park. It's not too far away in North Hopkinton, and spectators can take a shuttle bus to the start line from there.
If you're just looking to see the elites run and have a spot on the course to yourself, it's great. You can see them all whiz by early.
