Before you cross the finish line, tell us what inspired you to run.
The 127th Boston Marathon will draw 30,000 runners to the city to complete the 26.2-mile stretch from Hopkinton to Boylston Street. The race’s storied history inspires some of the world’s best athletes and if you’re one of those runners, we want to know what inspired you to run Boston.
In the months before the 2022 marathon, we published submissions from people who ran Boston for the first time and for the fiftieth. Many runners took on the challenge to raise money for important causes like support for first responders, cancer research, and to raise awareness for people with disabilities.
