Boston Marathon Finish Line: Midnight Marathon Bike Ride

Midnight bike ride tradition at Boston Marathon
The "Midnight Marathon" bike ride takes place annually on the eve of the Boston Marathon, drawing thousands of participants to cycle the race course. This unsanctioned event, now in its 16th year, utilizes the marathon's finish line infrastructure, which is prepared for the official race. The ride highlights the community's engagement with the historic Boston Marathon, a major annual sporting event established in 1897.
