Ha! At that price you could request the concierge to hold the umbrella over your head... for all 26.2 miles. But give em a nice tip.
IT IS NOT GOING TO RAIN NEXT YEAR. I mean, it's going to rain at some point next year, but not in Boston on April 15.

I can't imagine a -4:30 won't be good enough
It seems we say that every year about a fixed number but yeah, this one seems pretty safe.
Are we there, yet?
That's what we said last September about -3:20.

I predict a -11:30 cutoff.
And it def won't be cold 2 years in a row. Get ready to get dat ass burnt' up
Regarding cutoff times - I'll just say I still plan to book a fully refundable hotel room with my 6:21. Who the hell knows anymore.
BTW - do people recommend a hotel closer to the bus pickup, or closer to the finish?

Pls make it 45, tyvm.
Done!
I think most folks shoot for the finish. There isn't a whole hell of a lot in Hopkinton, plus people like to celebrate in the city after.
I didn't mean Hopkinton, I meant the bus pickup at Boston Common.
Ideally, your room would be near the finish area, but since supply has a direct correlation to demand, those rooms are priced accordingly. I stayed in the town over the bridge, Cambridge, which was less than a 5 minute subway ride to the bus pickup area, and about a minute longer from the finish. I was more than satisfied with that choice price-wise, and ease of getting around town-wise. YMMV
I just inspected a carnival. I left there wondering if any of the workers owned clean pants.
