Marathon Team Updates #8 + Saturday Training Run Plan

Don’t forget! Our second team meeting is two weeks away on Thursday, January 25 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm EST! We can’t wait to see you – details below and be sure to RSVP for the team meeting!

Saturday’s Training Run (Not riverside, as planned!)

This Saturday, January 13th, WOULD BE our first scheduled Riverside Run. HOWEVER, due to the current forecast of torrential rains on Saturday morning, the run will start at 9:00am you will do a 10 – 12 mile out and back run starting and ending at Joint Ventures, the same as our typical group long runs. Ali, Ally, and Caroline will not be at this run, please but reach out if you need any support Saturday morning. Be sure to check out Coach John’s latest email or his website for more information and to keep up to date on the training schedule.

B.A.A. Registration

A friendly reminder to add to your calendars for late January/early February– the 2024 Boston Marathon Registration Fee.

All charity team members on the Brigham Stepping Strong Marathon team will be required to register and pay the $375 entry fee to the B.A.A. (amount subject to change per the B.A.A.) that does not count towards the runner’s fundraising minimum. This fee will be collected separately via an email from the B.A.A. that will arrive to your inbox in late January/early February. Do NOT panic if you hear about other runners registering. We hold off you registering too soon, because once you register, bibs are nontransferable and nonrefundable, and runners are responsible for their fundraising commitment whether they are able to participate in the race or not.

Fundraising Check-In Calls

A friendly that fundraising calls start TOMORROW and continue bi-weekly through 4/12! While not mandatory, these are a great chance to check-in with us about all things fundraising and make sure you feel prepared to cross your fundraising finish lines. CLICK HERE to sign up.

From start to finish,

Ali, Ally, and Caroline
