About 50 participants ran 50k (31.07 miles). The race has morphed into a fantastic community event with over 600 participants! “Pfff”, you say. Your longest distance is one lap around ...
This was in fact, my first Boston Marathon experience. I am incredibly thankful for the experience, but it was a bit overwhelming. Prior to Boston, I had two other marathons. The first marathon, which was my qualifying marathon, was a very small marathon in a rural area in West Virginia. I believe in total there were 1,800 participants and that ...

To me, sometimes the “best time” out there doesn’t equal the best time on the clock. This spring, I ran two marathons with almost identical finish times- but one was what, at the time, I described as my worst race, ...

38 years ago this June, a new type of race was born. This wasn’t just any event. It was an endurance event like no other. One that would test not only athleticism and running ability but grit, determination, and resilience. This event took no prisoners. It chewed up, spat out, and burned the shirts of quitters but for those few ...
Alrighty Flyer readers, buckle up, this is gonna be a long one. We usually try to keep our articles short, sweet and to the point to keep your attention, but we’re making an exception for the 2024 Boston Marathon.
