    A quick question...does anyone know for sure what size, and more important, how much is in them, the cups used at Boston are ? Thanks

      Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

        hahaha, so did I.
        "Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative." - prefontaine
          Boston is still just a dream for me so I can't help but I can wish you the best of luck. And yes I'm ashamed to admit I'm just another RA perv looking for a "cup runneth over" pic or two. I hope Jake's dogs don't open this thread.

            Its a legitimate concern! The cup size is important in a marathon!

                This thread is very disappointing. ---------------- Okay, since its not about boobs (sigh) or even testicular packaging (which at least would have been entertaining), I'll ask a question about the original post: why do you want to know? I assume its roughly the same amount as in every other race. Which is ... ? 3 ounces? 4 ounces? Approximately half a dixie cup? Just curious why it matters. If you need more, take two.

                  I have run Boston 3 times and I'm running it again in 12 days or so. I don't remember a lot of detail about the cups, except that there were plenty of them...they were paper...and they were blue. I don't remember them being very big or very small or very full or very empty. Hope that helps. I thought this would be a breast discussion so like JK, I am disapointed.

                    Running my 5th Boston and have always stayed away from the sport drink and used a few gels. This year I am switching because the gels do not digest as well and have worked out X amount of drink in my long runs. So I'm just trying to plan accordingly.

                      Dude, what kind of races do you run that you need a cup?! I have to admit, a full-contact 10-K might be fun.

                          Well, if it's a question of volume of water to intake, I wouldn't worry too much. In my two Bostons, there was water available approximately every 1/4 mile (or so it seemed). May not be a BAA water stop, but the crowds are awesome about offering water and other treats. And I was also disappointed that this wasn't about bras... Blush ETA -- It's not the size!

                            I forget but I would say average - if they were too small/big I'd probably remember. As Goldilocks would say: They were Juuuuuust right! 10 days ... woooooo-hooooooo! See you there!!!
