Welcome to the Boston Marasplash

Pumps have been stationed at low-lying areas in case of flooding. Ponchos will be provided for workers assigned outdoors. Runners were warned by e-mail to wear appropriate clothing....

Near the start in Hopkinton, the usual carnivallike atmosphere was subdued. The town green was nearly empty less than two hours before start time, with few hot dog stands and no lines at the portable restrooms. A vendor who ran out of ponchos Sunday was selling trash bags for $1 apiece.
Well hey, if they don't have hot dogs you can count me out.
