John Hancock® has selected WalkBoston as an Boston Marathon charity organization. RunBoston is coordinated by Susan Hurley CharityTeams. Running for WalkBoston supports our efforts to make Massachusetts communities healthier, greener and more neighborly through better walking.

On Marathon Day the Boston Athletic Association looks out for the safety of runners; the other 364 days a year it’s up to WalkBoston.

By collecting contributions from friends, family, colleagues and others, RunBoston runners earn the privilege to compete in the world's most prestigious running event, the Boston Marathon.
