2021 Boston Marathon Traffic and Safety Advisory
The 2021 Boston Marathon is scheduled to take place on Monday, October 11. The Marathon will be the only event taking place on the public roadways for the weekend. The traditional races, such as the BAA 5K and the Invitational Mile, will not be happening.
People coming into the City for the events are urged not to drive their personal vehicles. Information on Bluebikes rentals may be found online, and information on the T may be found on the MBTA website. For a faster return trip, the MBTA advises riders to purchase a round-trip rather than a one-way ticket. Walking is also a great way to move around Boston.
