The Boston Marathon will welcome over 30,000 athletes from over 120 countries and all 50 U.S. states, reinforcing its status as a premier international running event. Managed by the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) — which has promoted running as a healthy lifestyle since 1887 — the event continues to uphold its legacy of excellence.
Shokz will also attend the Mile 27 Post-Race Party, presented by Samuel Adams, at Boston City Hall Plaza on race day, Apr. 21. This festive shutdown will allow runners to unwind and celebrate their achievement post-finish line. There will be personalized engravings, a chance to meet with elite marathon runners on different days throughout race week, and a panel discussion that includes elite marathon runners, and so much more from noon through race week.
