Boston Marathon 2009
Monday April 20th 2009
A race for serious runners: this is the only marathon that requires entrants to have completed a qualifying time at a previous marathon. The calibre of the athletes and the fact that this is the world’s oldest marathon make Boston one of the most prestigious road races. However, if you run the Boston Marathon using one of JDRF's guaranteed places you do not need a qualifying time.
We are delighted to be able to offer you a guaranteed place in the Boston Marathon. As JDRF is not tied to a tour operator, you are free to make your own travel arrangements, so you can stay as long as you like. All we ask is that you commit to raising a minimum of £1,500
Runners joining JDRF Team Pingu (the loveable penguin from the Antarctic will be JDRF’s team mascot) will benefit from all the support that JDRF and Pingu can give including:
- JDRF 'Team Pingu' Runners Pack - containing sponsorship forms, information on the Charity, practical tips to maximise the effectiveness of your training and fundraising efforts.
- Information on how to create your own on-line sponsor page.
- Runner’s on-line discussion group.
- Free running shirt.
- Post thank you / awards ceremony
