The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's best-known road racing events. It is one of six World Marathon Majors.

Mount Ellinor is a peak in the Olympic Mountains of Washington, United States. It is located in an area designated as the Mount Skokomish Wilderness. The mountain is a popular day hike in the summer months, being that the summit is reachable via a steep-but-brief 3.3-mile (5.3 km) trail which gains about 3,200 feet (980 m) in elevation from the lower of two trailheads. The federal government introduced "Roosevelt" mountain goats into the Olympic mountains sometime in the mid- to early 20th century, and the goats frequent this trail - the goats are large, strong, fearless, and potentially lethal; it is advisable to keep a safe distance from them.
