Esplanade Association links with Boston Marathon

The Esplanade Association announced that it has been chosen by the Boston Athletic Association as the only environmental charity selected for this year’s Boston Marathon.

The association describes itself as a nonprofit collaboration of citizens working to protect, restore, and enhance Boston’s historic Charles River Esplanade.

Proceeds raised will benefit the association and its ongoing mission to protect and restore the three-mile stretch of the Esplanade in Boston, the association said.
