Along the #BostonMarathon route, runners hit the halfway point in Wellesley.
The Wellesley stretch covers 4 miles from mile 12 to mile 16, passing by Wellesley College and putting runners through the biggest drop from the start of the Marathon of 150 feet over one-quarter of a mile.
Runners cross over the Charles River before entering the next town: Newton.

After a traumatic event, sleep quality may be negatively affected, with many people having difficulty falling asleep, waking up more often during the night, and have trouble falling back asleep.
The Internet is a common source of sleep information but may be subject to commercial bias and misformation.
A study led by 2022 #SteppingStrong Innovator Award winner, Rebecca Robbins, MMSci, PhD, MS, compared the understandability, information quality, and presence of misinformation in popular YouTube videos on sleep and insomnia with videos from credible experts.
On average, the most popular YouTube videos received 8.2 million views, whereas the expert-led videos received 0.3 million views. Commercial bias was identified in 66.7% of the popular videos and 0% of the expert videos; misinformation in the popular videos was identified as well. Ultimately, Dr. Robbins and her colleagues proposed that further research could focus on exploring methods to share evidence-based sleep information with a wide audience.

Town number four on the #BostonMarthon route is Natick.
The 4.5 mile run is the flattest stretch of the course that leads runners past Fisk Pond, a beautiful clock tower in Natick Center, and a neighborhood that passes out candy.
When runners reach Wellesley, the next town on the route, they’re nearly halfway to the finish line.
