Boston Course Run

[Carrie Boland]

Hi Highlanders,

It's that time of year again, Boston Marathon course run planning. We are planning on Saturday, March 28th as it's the usual three weeks out from the marathon. 

Remember you don't have to run the marathon (or want to run the whole 22 miles) to participate in the course run! We often have more people do a combination of running and driving than who run the whole course. 

For those of you who are new to this event, we meet in Winchester early in the morning (around 6am) and drive out to the Marathon start line. We drive 4 miles down the course where we begin the trek to the finish line. Cars stop about every five miles so you can grab food, water, and anything else you might need (you need to bring whatever you will want along the course). 

Please let me know if you:

1. Would like to participate as a runner and whether you are running all of the course or just a portion
2. Are able to help out and drive (the people who make this day possible!) and if you are also hoping to do some running

This is always a fun Highlander tradition so hope many of you can join us!

Best,

Carie

I'd like to run the whole thing, if possible.  If not, willing to take a shift driving, mix in some running.

Zimmermann's will run some of the course and drive.  So we can offer up to three seats.
