Athletes and spectators alike are encouraged to stay in downtown Boston the weekend of the race, both to make pre-registration easier and to have time to see the beautiful city. There will be a number of activities happening around Boston in conjunction with the Urban Epic that you won't want to miss!

The Seaport Hotel is pleased to partner with the 2009 Urban Epic Boston. Stay at the Seaport during race weekend and receive a fantastic athlete rate! (Plus all the luxury, amenities, and perks you could ask for.)

The Seaport Hotel has a stunning waterfront location just three miles from the Bayside Expo Center (and three miles from Logan airport too). You'll rest easy the night before the race (and after) with the luxurious touches that make Seaport's guest room accommodations a home away from home. Plus, use of the Wave Health and Fitness Center inside the Seaport is complimentary with your stay. The Wave offers a pool, state-of-the-art cardio equipment, a full arsenal of free-weights, and a full menu of massage and spa services to help you get loose both before and after the race. Other amenities include an underground parking garage, storage for your bike, and concierge services to help you make the most of your Boston stay.

We’re also proud to announce that The Seaport is an eco-friendly green hotel!
