“Maybe the course won’t be Boston but the spirit still will be. Yes, I will be running the 124th Boston “virtual” Marathon and doing so to show my support for the race’s history and tradition. When finished, I will add this experience to my list of Boston Marathon stories and memories. This will be known as the pandemic year. Not the way that I env...
“I’m a charity runner and was very disappointed at the way the marathon was canceled. I completely expected it to be canceled from this date, but I was hoping that all registrants would have the option to ‘defer’ to the next event, whether 2021 or later. To simply cancel with no regard for those that still want to run an in-person event at some poi...
“I am disappointed for all the first-time runners who are not going to get to experience the “real” race — the iconic, challenging course and, of course, the amazing crowds. That said, I encourage everyone who has trained so hard for the race to stay motivated and stay in shape. Chances are, especially if you are a charity runner, you are in the be...
“I will not be running in the virtual alternative. I’m running in honor of my cousin Vanessa Marcotte, who was killed by an act of violence while out on a walk near her family home in August 2016. Vanessa was a BU graduate and Boston was her favorite city, so it’s really important for me to run the marathon route in her honor. It’s unfair that thou...
“The 2020 marathon in April was going to be my first-ever marathon in celebration of my 50th birthday. When they moved it to September, I convinced myself it would be something special and unique even if it meant training in the heat of the summer. I’d also still be 50. Now that they have changed it to a virtual run, I doubt I’ll be participating. ...
“I am disappointed. I understand, and do not disagree. Holding it virtually is not a true alternative — maybe if they had offered this as an alternative in March with a month left to go in our original training I might have gone for it. However, marathon training through the hottest part of the summer for a virtual race, for most runners is most li...
“I had a feeling this was going to turn into a virtual race and I think that is the best decision for everyone. I chose to raise money for a charity I love and that is the important part. I was successful. On April 20, 2020, I ran a virtual 26.2 miles in my hometown of Medfield with the support of my husband and friends cheering along the side line...
“So sad that the run won’t occur but happy that the decision was made to keep us all safe. I am a charity runner who has completed 7 Boston Marathons. I ran in 2013 and was stopped at mile 24 due to the bombings that year. I ran it in 2015. This would have been my 9th Boston Marathon as a charity runner. This year I was running for South Shore Hosp...
