If you plan to join the hundreds of thousands of people set to cheer on runners in this year’s Boston Marathon, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a great spot along the route. 

There’s a lot to know ahead of the marathon, and we’ve got you covered on all of it — including what not to bring with you on race day, how to track your favorite runner, and where to eat and drink along the route. Now, we need your help to create a reader-recommended guide to watching the 2024 Boston Marathon.

The marathon’s 26.2-mile route goes through Hopkington, Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, and Newton before making its final stretch into Boston. That means there are lots of options to choose from if you want to join the fun.
