Richard was killed during the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.
Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans completed the Houston Marathon on Sunday in honor of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old who was killed in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.
“Commissioner Evans ran as part of Team MR8, the official running team of the Martin Richard Foundation, proudly wearing a shirt in honor of young Martin’s memory as he has done in every race he has run since the 2013 Boston Marathon,’’ police said.
Donning a yellow Team MR8 jersey of the Martin Richard Foundation, Evans completed the race in 3 hours, 37 minutes, and 39 seconds net time, good for a pace of about 8:20 per mile.
