BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Marathon Monday is upon us. The race begins at 9:02 a.m. with the men's wheelchair division. The Boston Athletic Association has put out a list of discouraged items and travel tips for spectators.
Among the "discouraged" items at the Copley Square finish line:
- Weapons or items of any kind that may be used as weapons.
- Backpacks or any similar item.
- Suitcases and rolling bags.
- Coolers.
- Glass containers or cans.
- Flammable liquids, fuels, fireworks or explosives.
- Any container capable of carrying more than 1 liter of liquid.
- Handbags or packages or bulky items larger than 12 inches x 12 inches x 6 inches.
- Large blankets/comforters, duvets, sleeping bags.
- Costumes covering the face or any non-form fitting, bulky outfits.
The B.A.A. says bringing any of those things to the finish line could mean a longer wait at security, if you get in at all. Local police have also said the entire race is a "No-Drone Zone," meaning you'll need to keep the overhead shots at home.
