QUESTION: How can I check a runner’s progress during the marathon?
ANSWER: The B.A.A. (Boston Athletic Association) will broadcast at the 6.2 mile, 13.1 mile, 18.64 mile, and finish line (26.2 mile) markers to its website (http://baa.org) and family and friends can track your progress by logging in and entering your name or bib number. The “face” of the Boston Marathon website will change on race day and the process on how to enter the search will be clear.
