"Stay at the Start" has established a network of just over 40 families in Hopkinton (where the 26 mile Boston Marathon starts) that want to provide accommodations in their home during Boston Marathon weekend to registered marathon runners. “Stay at the Start” is matching registered runners interested in staying in Hopkinton with these host families.
There is no charge to stay in a host family’s home as a guest. In exchange for a stay of up to 4 nights, “Stay at the Start” is asking for a donation to help support the community based Hopkinton Food Pantry that services families in need.
“Stay at the Start” is an all volunteer, not-for-profit organization. “Stay at the Start” is about building community. Our goal is for both the runners and host families to have an enhanced marathon experience, for this to become part of the Boston Marathon tradition, and to raise much needed money for the Hopkinton Food Pantry.

That's awesome! Who are you staying with in Boston though? Room for 2 more?
I'm staying with hashers for the weekend. Check the hash marathon weekend web page for crash space.
So you don't know who you're staying with.
Not yet.
Bummer. Let me know when you know. I can tell you if I know them or not. I'm still trying to secure space, to no avail. Wankers. It'd be cool to be at the same place!
