POLL: Does The Marathon Run You Out Of Back Bay?
Do you try and stake out a spot as close to the finish line as possible, or run as far away from the event as you can? Vote and let us know how you feel about 116 years of crowds in the neighborhood.
You can't get off the T at Copley Square on Marathon Monday. There are crowds everywhere, and the chance of getting Gatorade accidentally spilled on yourself dramatically increases. There's also the media factor -- Copley Square becomes a swarm of cameras as the event is broadcast locally and nationally.
If all of this just piques your excitement for the Marathon, vote in our poll and let us know why you like it so much. If it doesn't, don't worry -- we've got an option for you, too. Let your neighbors know how you cope if you've got to stay in the Back Bay, or where your favorite Marathon Monday escape is if you head out of town.
