What is the Midnight Marathon Bike Ride?

The ride is an annual Boston tradition where over 1,000 people bike the same route as the Boston Marathon in the early dark hours of Marathon Monday.

The ride is not a race nor is it a paid event; it is however a unique shared experience, a fun way to meet people, and a decent workout.
