Race Day Question
I'm running my first Boston in 2027. My wife handled the travel plans and has us staying in Salem, due to family and other considerations. She mentioned I should be able to take the first train to North Station on the morning of the marathon. It looks like the first train leaves Salem around 5:20 and takes about 36 minutes to reach North Station. Once there, I would walk to the bus loading area. Does this seem like a feasible plan on race day? Has anyone else done this? I don't think I'll be able to change where I'm staying, so if there's a better option to get to the start line on race day from Salem, I'm all ears! Thank you!
