Birmingham will be in Boston 🏆
The Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world’s most prestigious road racing events. This year, more than 30 runners from Birmingham are lacing up their running shoes and heading to the marathon.
The Birmingham metro has over 30 representatives in the October 11th race, nine of which participated in the 2019 Boston Marathon—the 2020 race was cancelled due to the pandemic.
This year, runners are not required to wear a mask while racing, but will need to wear them on buses to and from the race. Masks are required in all medical tents along the 26.2-mile route. Masks will also be provided.
