Frequently asked
Why is the Boston Marathon hard if it's downhill?
The early downhills trash your quads, and the Newton hills — ending with Heartbreak Hill around mile 20 — hit when you're most tired.
Do you have to qualify for Boston?
Most runners must run a qualifying time; it's the world's most prestigious open marathon.
