Finish side, on Boylston.

The Lenox

The contact page prints 61 Exeter Street at Boylston, Boston, Massachusetts 02116.

Consider: This is a Copley address. It does not put you in Hopkinton for the gun. We did not check a 2027 room block.

Finish side, St. James Avenue.

Fairmont Copley Plaza

The hotel location page prints 138 St James Avenue, 02116 Boston.

Consider: The family meeting area in the March 2026 PDF is Stuart Street and St. James Street. That is not a promise that this lobby is the meeting point, and it is not a start hotel.

Which area fits?

Near the start

The PDF starts the race on Main Street in Hopkinton. This pin is a point on that street from OpenStreetMap on 4 November 2026, not a surveyed start line.

Hopkinton is not a finish hotel. The two named hotels are at Copley.
