INITIATED IN 2008, THE MARATHON COALITION™ IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING OUR RUNNERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE MARATHON, STRATEGIES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THEIR CHARITIES, AND A MEANINGFUL, LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE. WE ARE INSPIRED BY OUR TEAM MEMBERS' DEDICATION TO IMPROVING THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE. WE STRIVE TO HELP OUR RUNNERS ACHIEVE THEIR RUNNING GOALS, BUILD NEW FRIENDSHIPS, AND RAISE CRITICAL FUNDS FOR IMPORTANT CAUSES.
IN 2014, OUR SIXTEEN CHARITY PARTNERS RAISED $2 MILLION TO SUPPORT THE MISSIONS OF BOSTON-AREA CHARITIES! |

"Charity runners finish at a higher percentage than any other marathon runner, and Marathon Coalition charity runners lead the way. The Marathon Coalition manages to make the impossible possible, from the training to the the nutrition, to the mental game it takes, creating a family and a safety net and the loudest cheering section on the course along the way. I went from never having run a mile to three years later having run two Boston Marathons (2012 & 2014). Coaches Rick, Paul, and Greg put their faith in every runner, from novices to iron men. They pushed me beyond any comfort zone I ever knew, and made me a marathoner … and a marathoner who raised more than $45,000 for uAspire and College Bound Dorchester, two nonprofits near and dear to my heart and theirs."
