Assuming you are registered with the AAU, which requests $1 for the honor of membership, you pay only $2 to enter the Marathon and here is what you receive: bus ride to Hopkinton, numbers and pins, dressing facilities at Hopkinton Junior High School, 26 miles of open concrete, dressing facilities in the Prudential, and best of all, tasty beef stew in the Pru afterwards.
