Whether you are running the marathon yourself, cheering someone on, or drinking the day away as a spectator, there are plenty of ways to get the most out of your Marathon Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Are you working Monday but still want to be a part of the action? The Marathon Monday Party starts earlier than you think. Starting at 6am, marathoners pack the buses at the Boston Common where they travel to the race\u2019s starting point. Being able to wish the runners luck and send them on their way is a perfect way to get involved before you have the head to the office for the day. There\u2019s even ways to keep track of the runners from anywhere around the world. The <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/baa-marathon\/id632231181?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s4\">Official App of the Boston Marathon<\/span><\/a> is the perfect way to keep tabs on your favorite runners, share photos and check the leaderboards. Explore the hashtags #Boston2016 or #BostonMarathon to stay updated on all of the action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the things that keep the Boston Marathon going are the volunteers! There are so many ways to volunteer your time to help make the Marathon better and better each year. You can help out at the starting line, finish line, as medical support or even at the post race party. One great way to get involved is cheering the runners in Wellesley College\u2019s famous Scream Tunnel or hand out waters after the dreaded Heartbreak Hill. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"> Of course, there are those who use Marathon Monday as the perfect spring day to party. The Pour House offers a delicious boozy brunch is conveniently located right before the finish line on Boylston Street. Cityside in Brighton has a patio that provides a bird\u2019s eye view on runners going on their 24<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> mile. Though the bars may be packed, thousands of spectators flood the streets of Boston and cheer on the 30,000+ runners. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"> This year\u2019s marathon is set to be a beautiful 70-degree day.
