Boston Marathon Organizers Enlist Crowd Science Pro to Streamline Race

Boston Marathon organizers have brought in a crowd science expert to optimize the race for over thirty-two thousand runners. The expert has run more than one hundred simulations, adjusting start waves, aid stations, and more to improve the flow without altering the historic route. The race, which started with just fifteen runners in 1897, now has six start waves and aims for a smoother experience with shorter lines and fewer hiccups.
