When runners arrive, they will run past the Johnny Kelley Statue. The statue is a tribute to the local legend who ran 61 marathons, the last of which came in 1992 when Johnny was 84. Near the race course, at 83 Beals Street, Brookline, sits the birthplace of John F. Kennedy, the iconic 35th President of the United States.

From a Framingham four-family to a Newton victorian, here are eight homes for sale less than a mile from the route.
