Good Spots for Viewing


Anywhere along Waverly Street/Rt. 135 is great for watching the Marathon in Framingham. If you like the buzz of a crowd atmosphere, go to Downtown (intersection of Routes 135 & 126), or the area around Columbus Square (Route 135 and Fountain Street). If you prefer some elbow room, park on a side street and walk to one of the less populated sections outside of Downtown.
