The team will consist of 15 participants raising funds to support the B.A.A.’s mission of bringing the benefits of running and healthy lifestyles to the greater community.
As part of the B.A.A.’s inaugural charity marathon team, participants will receive:
- Access to experienced coaching and training assistance
- Race day perks including private bussing and access to a special pre-start area in Hopkinton
- Team apparel from adidas
- Weekly communications from team manager and fundraising support
