Gladly Family to Host Free Finishline Family Lounge for Boston Marathon Spectators

Massachusetts-based company Gladly Family will host a complimentary family rest area during the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21. The Finishline Family Lounge will provide a welcoming space for families with children to relax, refuel, enjoy activities. It is only a short walk from the race’s conclusion.

Located on the second floor of Trident Booksellers at The Stacks,

the lounge is approximately ten minutes from the marathon’s finish line. Families attending the iconic sporting event will have access to free refreshments, including snacks and beverages, restrooms equipped with changing tables, plus a dedicated play space by Bravomonster RC Toys, featuring activities designed for children of all ages.

“We understand that attending the Boston Marathon with kids can be both exciting and challenging,” said Gladly Family Co-Founder, Jen Johnson. “Our Finishline Family Lounge aims to give families a comfortable place to take a break from the crowds while still experiencing the Marathon Day energy.”

The family-friendly space will welcome spectators throughout Marathon Monday, allowing parents and children to recharge before returning to cheer on runners. Parents can also enter a raffle for Gladly Family Anthem Stroller Wagons or a Piper 2-in-1 Convertible Stroller.
