The oldest and probably the most prestigious annual marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon is an incredible 114 years old and still going strong. It begins in the rural town of Hopkinton and passes through eight cities on the way to the finish line in Boston's Back Bay.
On arrival in Boston, Massachusetts, you'll be free to either get a bit more training in or explore the area - the historic Freedom Trail, the swan boats at the Public Garden, the many museums and stunning architecture that make up the birthplace of the Revolutionary War.
Then on the Monday it's ready, set, go and you're off to join up to 25,000 other participants on a running tour of New England's largest and most historically important city.
For this trip, you can either let Aid International organise your flight and accomodation, giving you a three day long weekend, or if you want to make a longer holiday of it, simply arrange your own stay and join us for the marathon itself.
