126th Boston Marathon Cheering Section

Monday, April 18th | Join us at the Mile 18 check point on Heartbreak Hill on Commonwealth Avenue opposite Braeburn Country Club in West Newton

Come help us welcome Chris Nikic and push our Team MDSC Boston Marathon runners to reach the finish line on Marathon Monday, April 18th!

The MDSC Cheering Section is at the Mile 18 check point on Heartbreak Hill on Commonwealth Avenue opposite Braeburn Country Club in West Newton where there is a nice grassy area.

We encourage you to take advantage of Public Transportation. Our cheering section is a 15 minute walk from the Woodland Station stop on the Green Line’s ‘D’ Train.

The cheering section will be set up as early as 10 a.m. We encourage members to arrive no later than noon because the earlier you go, the easier it will be to make your way to the cheering section (and, if driving, to find a parking spot). Most of our MDSC runners pass through between 1pm and 3pm.

Upon arrival, an MDSC representative will be present at the cheering section. There will be snacks, noise makers, and other items to keep the runners motivated. We encourage spectators to bring blankets and a picnic lunch to enjoy with your friends!

If you and your families are planning to attend to cheer on our runners, please email race@mdsc.org. We hope to see you there…
