For Boston Marathon entrants on the South Shore looking for an easier way to get to Hopkinton than via the BAA buses from Boston: Colonial Road Runners sponsors a bus that leaves the Braintree MBTA station at 7:30 AM and takes runners directly to Hopkinton HS. The bus stays until race time in a lot that the BAA sets aside for club buses. For full details and a registration form, go the CRR website, www.colonialrunners.org[/URL" target="_blank"> , and click the link on the home page.
