The Newton stretch of the Boston Marathon | WCVB Channel 5

The Newton stretch of the Boston Marathon is infamous for its hills. It's the most notorious stretch of the race because of the 4 hills that pop up over it's roughly 6 miles but any Boston veteran will tell you you, it's how you handle the downhills previous sections and how you recover from the hills that really define your race. Team Heartbreak represented by Dan Fitzgerald and Paige Carter ran our home stretch with Channel 5's Josh Brogadir. Watch it here. Get Joan Benoit Samuelson's take on the hills here. Note: Heartbreaker George Woodward sent the below hill profile info over too. "The more you know." Happy running!
