CrackedBell Hopkinton to Boston Sunday Shakeout Run
An early-bird, free Sunday shakeout that starts and finishes at Boston Common—right where the marathon buses load the next morning. The out-and-back route keeps things easy: 2.25 miles to the Tommy Leonard Bridge on Mass Ave (the “1K to go” underpass) and back, with an optional longer extension to the Citgo sign for roughly 5K total. Runners who register early can snag a CrackedBell “throw-away” T-shirt designed for race morning.
**Good to know**
- Start location: Boston Common, 16 Charles St, Boston, MA 02108
- Plan to arrive early—the group heads out at 8:15 AM
- Dress for the weather; it’s a short, pre-race-friendly effort
