Mercedes-Benz Marathon Weekend

If you’re running the full marathon, be sure to stay ahead of the Mercedes Marathon’s famous “balloon lady” — she’s the official last finisher of the marathon (the 26.2-mile race), and if you’re not in front of her by the time you reach the split just before mile 13, you’ll be directed onto the half marathon route.

Mercedes Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier and your results will automatically be sent to the Boston Athletic Association

It’s really a love story. The Mercedes Marathon, a test of endurance and determination, a goal that drives ordinary people to train for months, is really just a love story.
