After a climb back through Forest Hill and a notable hill around mile 16, the course weaves past Sports Backers Stadium and delivers a fast downhill finish into downtown at Brown's Island on the riverfront. Total climbing is moderate — about +685 ft (208 m) — over a rolling profile. USATF-certified and a recognized Boston qualifier, the race is famous for fun aid stations (pickle juice and junk-food stops), party zones, live bands, and huge spectator support.",
