Support our Boston Marathon Team!

Franciscan Children’s is proud to participate in the 129th Boston Marathon as part of the Boston Athletic Association’s Charity Program. This is our first-ever Boston Marathon Team. We have 5 amazing runners who will take to the course on April 21, 2025 and run 26.2 miles for our kids and families.

This exciting opportunity allows us to take strides – both literally and figuratively – so every kid can!
