Boston Marathon 2009 - Run Your Race - Even Effort or Even Pace

These charts provide runner pacing information and spectator viewing guidelines, including time of day estimates for runners (and men's leaders) at each mile mark. Note that actual time of day may be affected by start delays, runners starting in different corrals or areas than expected. Spectators should leave a wide window to see their runner.

Note: If you are running the marathon, you might also want to print a pace wristband to wear while you're running.
