Boston Marathon Group Works Out Before Heading To Mile 18

BOSTON, MA — Cue "Eye of the Tiger," and get ready for a wet but incredible day. That's what the members and visitors at today's November Project free fitness group did this morning ahead of making their way to Mile 18.

It's become an annual tradition (though this may have been the first year a Boston Police officer supplied a bit of the music). Each year before runners take their marks in Hopkinton, a horde of folks crazy enough to wake up before 6 a.m. and get over to Cleveland Circle for a free work out courtesy of November Project.

November Project is a free fitness movement that began as a way for two former Northeastern athletes to make sure they got their workouts in after graduation. Now it's grown to include groups across the country with the mission of making fitness - for all levels - fun, accountable and accessible.

Marathon Monday folks work out on Casidy field or near the reservoir and then head to Mile 18 where many of them will cheer on the folks running today.

But what about the cold and the rain? This group is weatherproof.

Take a look at what part of this morning's workout looked like, complete with a bit of the "Eye of the Tiger" courtesy of the Boston Police.
