Let there be Boston Marathons everywhere!
Half of my stream, it seems, wants to run the Boston Marathon next year in a show of support after yesterday’s horrible attack. I love the sentiment and want to do it too.
Logistically though, if even 5% of the people who are now saying that they’d like to run it, enter and show up, it will extremely difficult if not impossible in Boston, especially with the heavy security that will be present.
But what if we begin to organize satellite marathons across the country and schedule them on the same day as next year’s Boston Marathon?
We can call it The Patriots Day Satellite Project.
This would be great as it would spread our solidarity and support everywhere and allow many more people to run but not add even more stress to next year’s Boston Marathon.
Seems like a no brainer.
I will be in contact with my local Road Runners club today and have more details by the end of the week.
If you would like to help organize, please leave a comment below or ping me at phil at stocktwits dot com.
Let’s do this!
