Because so much of the Boston Marathon route goes through Newton, the Mayor’s Office receives running bibs to award to people willing to raise funds for Newton charities. This year, 44 runners will be running to raise funds for 26 Newton charities. Full details on their campaigns are here.
With 7 days to go before the Boston Marathon, these 44 runners have raised a total of $329,787.
They’re not done. Click on the names below to reach each runner’s fundraising page. Help them reach their goals — and put a spring in their step for Monday!
