RED Episode 289 BOSTON MARATHON Runcation Recap

What if running could transform not just your body but your entire life?  Hear from an all-star panel of inspiring women who’ve done just that.  Andi recently celebrated her accomplishment of ALL the Abbott World Marathon Majors with the final one in Tokyo.  At the same time, Amanda, Executive Director of the Donna Foundation, has her sights set on the London Marathon next year.  Join us as Fitz Kohler recounts her Boston Marathon journey for charity and Babs, who was at the finish of the Boston Marathon to medal each of these fantastic ladies and Boston Marathon finishers.  
 Get a front-row seat to the emotional rollercoaster of qualifying for the Boston Marathon.  Fitz shares her poignant story of running for a domestic violence charity after surviving cancer, while Babs recounts her unique volunteer experience and the serendipity of awarding Fitz her medal.  Amanda and Andi open up about their own paths to qualifying for Boston, encapsulating the camaraderie and resilience that make this marathon a life-changing event.
 
 Are you planning to tackle the Boston Marathon yourself?  We’ve got you covered with practical tips on travel, accommodation, and navigating the expo.  Discover strategies for conquering Boston’s notorious hills and hear about the unforgettable finish line moments that make all the sweat and tears worth it.  Plus, get excited for the 2025 DONNA Marathon, a Boston Marathon Qualifier, where community support and the joy of running come together for an unforgettable weekend, much like the Boston Marathon experiences recapped in this episode.  The DONNA Marathon Weekend registration opens on July 1, 2025.  Join the Runcation Nation Team!!!
