Qualified to run the Boston Marathon?
Qualified runners who have already received a Boston Marathon bib from the B.A.A. are welcome to apply and join our team with a reduced fundraising goal of $2,000.
Virtual Runner Option
Our virtual runner option is designed for supporters who want to be part of the team but don't plan to run the marathon on race day. Virtual runners receive official team swag, are invited to team pop-up runs and events, and join a passionate community dedicated to supporting our mission. It's a great fit for those who are recovering from an injury, have scheduling conflicts on Marathon Monday, or simply would like to support BILH without tackling 26.2 miles all at once. Virtual runners have a reduced fundraising minimum of $2,000.
