Running community – The BAA sacrificed the tradition for us! Let’s give them another option, and have them carry the torch. Then in September, we all celebrate!

Patriots Day, April 20, 2020 – small team of 15 athletes run commemorative marathon, similar in may ways to the event 124 years earlier. A self supported, solitary run along the historical course with no swag, or boisterous crowds.

#KeepTheClockRunning – finish clock remains running from the moment the first competitor starts on April 20th, until after the last finisher on Sept. 14.

Sept 14, 2020 – elite and mass participation waves of the 2020 Boston Marathon begin. The clock is still running, as the event which began on Patriots Day, concludes 147 days later (just after Patriot Day)
