The 2022 Boston Marathon is returning to its traditional spring season after two years of pandemic-related scheduling snags.

This year the race is back to the “wave” model, with the first wave beginning at 10 a.m.

Buses will take participants from Boston Common to the Athlete’s Village at Hopkinton Middle and High School. Buses will be loading on Charles Street between the Public Garden and Boston Common. (See the map here.)

In Hopkinton, athletes will have time to relax and stretch. Poland Spring water, Gatorade, and portable toilets will be available.
