In just under a week’s time, 30,000 runners will line up in Hopkinton for the 129th running of the Boston Marathon.
Thousands of spectators will line the course, with especially raucous sections in Wellesley and Boston College. But if you can’t make it in person, don’t worry – there are plenty of ways to watch the race from afar.
Here’s what to know about how to watch the Boston Marathon, with information from the Boston Athletic Association.
The 129th Boston Marathon is on Monday, April 21, which is also Patriot’s Day. It’s also known as Marathon Monday.
The Boston Marathon is traditionally held on Patriot’s Day, which is the third Monday in April. This year, the marathon falls on the 250th anniversary of Patriot’s Day.
It also happens to be the day after Easter Sunday this year.
WCVB Channel 5 (ABC) will be covering the Boston Marathon live for all Boston-area viewers beginning at 4 a.m. on Marathon Monday.
It will be simulcast regionally on its sister stations: WMUR News 9 ABC (Manchester, NH), WMTW Channel 8 ABC (Portland/Auburn, ME), and WPTZ NBC5 (Burlington, VT/Plattsburgh, NY).
Local viewers can also live stream the marathon on the Very Local app.
ESPN2 will provide live national coverage of the Boston Marathon from 9 a.m. ET until 12:30 p.m. ET, as well as some other coverage on other ESPN shows and platforms before and after that time. The marathon will be streamed on ESPN+.
Watch it on ESPN+!
