Boston Marathon 2027Race-week travel for runners with an entry
Race-week travel for runners heading to Boston. We plan the trip around the entry you already hold, from your arrival to the finish on race day.
About Boston Marathon 2027
The 131st Boston Marathon, presented by Bank of America, takes place on Monday 19 April 2027. The qualifier registration period had already closed at our last check, so this page is for runners who already hold an entry.
The course runs point-to-point from Hopkinton to Boston, and the race is held on Patriots' Day. Because the start and the finish are in different places, where you stay and how you get to the start line both matter on race morning.
Visterra Runs plans the travel around your entry: your arrival, a stay that suits a point-to-point race, the days before the start and your return after the finish. Entries are handled only by the B.A.A.; we do not sell, provide or guarantee them.

Race week in Boston: what to plan for
Plan around a point-to-point course
The start and finish are in different places, so your hotel affects both race morning and your return after the finish. We weigh both before you book.
Arrive early enough to settle in
Our recommendation is to arrive a few days before race day so you can rest, adjust to the time zone if you need to, and keep the days before the start calm.
Expo timing
Bib pickup for major marathons is usually required in person before race day. We fit it into your arrival plan. Confirm the official requirements in your participant guide.
Visterra recommendations, not organizer rules.
