Celebrating some very special Boston Marathon volunteers 

On Friday November 15, the Boston Athletic Association held a special lunch at the Museum of Science in Boston to celebrate and thank 27 volunteers who have been part of the Boston Marathon for 30 years or more! 

These incredible individuals are part of the 9,000 strong cohort without whom the marathon couldn’t happen. The volunteers play such an important role in all the marathon related events and in creating the atmosphere across the city over the weekend and race day that Boston is known for.
