Qualified runners who registered for the 2012 BAA Boston Marathon began receiving their notifications. A "BQ" has become more meaningful than ever before. Because of the limited field of pariticpants allowed to run the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston, the Franklin Park Coalition hopes that you will consider running for the team.
Fifteen runners will have the chance to raise over $60,000 to support youth and athletic activities in Franklin Park. The team will be coaching by Mike Toomey of Toomey Sports Running Center in Salem, Mass., a clothing allotment will be awarded, and fun fundraising events are in the works. Short, team practice runs will be taking place in Boston's most beautiful green space and long runs will be supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.
If there are questions about the team, please contact the Marathon Charity Team Leader, Julie Arrison, at julie.@franklinparkcoalition.org
