    The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Sharing a Room, Sharing a Race News Sharing a Room, Sharing a Race Two Harvard students will compete in the 111th Boston Marathon Published On 4/9/2007 1:07:11 AM By KHALID ABDALLA Crimson Staff Writer Early in the afternoon when most students are done for the day, Charlton “Chad” Volpe ’07 laces on his sneakers and prepares to head out for a run. Volpe is a former rugby player who has traded in his cleats for sneakers to try his hand at the ultimate long-distance running challenge. He joins the ranks of many Harvard students who have decided to run next week’s Boston Marathon, but luckily for this first-timer he has a veteran training buddy in his lanky roommate, Matthew R. Conroy ‘07. Both runners are among the 30 students running the marathon for the Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC), which requires its particpants to fundraise before the run. Those 30 will join the expected 20,000 runners at next Monday’s Boston Marathon, the world’s oldest annually contested staging of the grueling 26-mile race. Between the training and the fundraising, students are re-shaping their lives in preparation for a race that killed its first participant back in 490 B.C. And though Volpe, a newcomer to the running scene, as well as the experienced Conroy, have faced their own challenges on the road to the marathon—each one breaking a foot last fall—they are confident that, together, they are up for the challenge. A ROCKY ROAD After breaking his foot in a rugby match last November, Volpe took a radically different path in his athletic career.
