The Boston Marathon kindly asks you to not kiss the runners on Monday
But race organizers ask that we please have none of that during Monday's event.The Boston Marathon is set to go Monday morning for the first time since April 2019, after Covid-19 prevented the 2020 race and postponed the 2021 edition until now.Organizers made some policy changes or recommendations to prevent virus spread -- and that includes discouraging an affectionate tradition.For years, students at Wellesley College -- near the halfway mark of the 26.
Ashford, the Munger Hall house president, says students' anticipation is heightened by the postponements, as seniors are generally the only ones who've had the chance to participate previously.She suspects the anti-kissing guidance will be generally well received because of the pandemic."Everyone knows that wouldn't be Covid-safe, and wouldn't leave here with the feeling that was the right public health choice," Ashford said.Kissing isn't the only thing discouraged.
