Great Boston Marathon Interactive Maps!

Check out the following link posted by the Boston Globe's site: http://www.boston.com/sports/marathon/course/map/ - It's a great interactive map to help you visualize the Boston course. Along the same lines, you can download from http://www.tagzania.com/kml/pt/baa-boston-marathon-race/ a "kml" file of the Boston course, which with Google Earth allows you to do a visual look-down from a theoretical airplane's perspective of "flying" above the course. Finally, here's a great link to a collection of odd-ball aspects of the Boston Marathon: http://boston.com/sports/graphics/04_17_09_the_odd_road/
