The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has honoured 16 long-serving volunteers for their 30 years of service at the Boston Marathon.
More than 9,000 volunteers support the Boston Marathon every year working in all areas including packet stuffing, medical, professional athletes, start line, finish line and everything in between.
B.A.A. notes that… ‘These individuals have given their time, energy and support to the marathon and many other B.A.A. events over the last three decades, taking on a host of roles and doing so with pride, dedication and the enthusiasm that the participants have come to expect and respect over the years.’
Alaina Belanger, Senior Manager, Community Programs and Events for the B.A.A., said “Thirty years of volunteering is a remarkable milestone.
“You all have witnessed the race evolve, seen records broken, and celebrated countless moments of triumph and unity. You’ve braved the unpredictable New England weather, cheered on thousands of participants, and lent a helping hand when needed the most. You have become an integral part of the Boston Marathon’s history.”
B.A.A. President and CEO, Jack Fleming, added “You are the heart and soul of the Boston Marathon. We thank you for your service, your passion for what we do and the wonderful experience you provide our participants every year.”
