SUMMARY:Boston Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Marathon is an annual marathon race hosted by eight 
 cities and towns in greater Boston in eastern Massachusetts\, United State
 s. It is traditionally held on Patriots' Day\, the third Monday of April. 
 First held in 1897\, the event was inspired by the success of the first ma
 rathon competition in the 1896 Summer Olympics. The Boston Marathon is the
  world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's best-known
  road racing events. It is one of eight World Marathon Majors. Its course 
 runs from Hopkinton in southern Middlesex County to Boylston Street\, near
  Copley Square\, in Boston. The World Marathon Majors is a series that inc
 ludes the Sydney\, Tokyo\, Cape Town\, Boston\, London\, Berlin\, Chicago\
 , and New York City marathons. Points from these races determine annual se
 ries champions among elite competitors\, enhancing international competiti
 on and prestige.\n\nThe Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has organized
  this event annually since 1897\, including a "virtual alternative" after 
 the 2020 road race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The race has
  been managed by DMSE Sports since 1988. Amateur and professional runners 
 from all over the world compete in the Boston Marathon each year\, braving
  the hilly Massachusetts terrain and varying weather to take part in the r
 ace.\n\nThe event attracts 500\,000+ spectators along the route\, making i
 t New England's most viewed sporting event. Recent editions have seen stro
 ng participation\; for example\, the Centennial Boston Marathon in 1996 es
 tablished a record as the world's largest marathon with 38\,708 entrants\,
  36\,748 starters\, and 35\,868 finishers.\n\n• Date of Next Race: Monda
 y\, April 19\, 2027 (the 131st edition).\n• Route: A point-to-point cour
 se running 26.2 miles from Hopkinton through suburban towns to downtown Bo
 ston\, ending on Boylston Street.\n• Famous Landmarks: Includes the down
 hill drops of early miles and the challenging ascent of Heartbreak Hill in
