The Boston Marathon, organized by the Boston Athletic Association, is the world's oldest marathon. It takes place on the third Monday in April, also known as Patriot's Day, which is a holiday (in Maine and Massachusetts) that commemorates the famous battles of Lexington and Concord.
Did you know?
In 1924, the B.A.A. moved the starting line from Ashland to Hopkinton. The organizers took into account that every Olympic Marathon run since the 1908 Games has been a distance of 26 miles, 385 yards. Therefore, in 1927, the Boston Marathon course was prolonged to the full distance of 26 miles, 385 yards to conform to Olympic standards.
