    APPLICATION FOR 2012 BOSTON MARATHON WAIVER The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) has again given several Boston Marathon qualifying-time “waivers” to Colonial Road Runners, to distribute to our members. Those who receive the waivers do not have to meet the standard qualifying-time requirements. Instead, they are given a special “invitational” Boston Marathon application to file with the BAA. The registration fee for the invitational application was $250 in 2011. CRITERIA: • All Colonial members are eligible to apply to the club for a Boston Marathon waiver and are encouraged to do so. • If you applied for a waiver in the previous year (2011), you are still eligible to apply again in 2012 regardless of whether you received one or not • In the event that the number of applications exceeds the number of available waivers, preference will be given to members who have: (1) Belonged to the club for at least one full year, (2) Volunteered in club activities during 2010/2011, (3) Been actively involved in club races and events during 2010/2011. (4) Have completed one or more races at least 20K (12.4 miles) or longer 2010/2011. APPLICATION: • To apply for a 2011 Boston Marathon waiver, please fill out the attached Application Form, and return it to Jim Conley by November 6, 2011: E-mail: [email protected] Mail: 171 Hancock St., Abington, MA 02351 • If you have any questions about the application process or selection criteria, please contact Jim at (781)- 878-7296 or his e-mail address listed above.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

    Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 4/10/15, 9:02 PM Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dzhokhar Anzorovich "Jahar" Tsarnaev (Джоха́р Анзо́рович Царна́ев /ˌdʒoʊˈxɑr ˌtsɑrˈnaɪ.ɛf/; born July 22, 1993) and Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev (Тамерла́н Анзо́рович Царна́ев /ˌtæmərˈlɑːn/; October 21, 1986 – April 19, 2013)[note 1] are two Chechen brothers who planted bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.[1][2][3][4] The bombings killed three people and reportedly injured as many as 264 others.[5] Shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investigation declared them suspects in the bombings and released images of them, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT police officer, carjacked an SUV, and engaged in a shootout with the police in the Boston suburb of Watertown. According to the federal indictment, during the shootout Tamerlan was captured, but died partly as a result of his brother driving over him, and an MBTA police officer was critically injured in the course of Dzhokhar's escape in the SUV[6] (the latter by what may have been friendly fire).[7] Dzhokhar was injured but escaped, and an unprecedented manhunt ensued, with thousands of police searching a 20-block area of Watertown. On the evening of April 19, the heavily wounded Dzhokhar was found unarmed hiding in a boat on a trailer in Watertown just outside the police perimeter, arrested, and taken to a hospital. It was later reported that he was persuaded to surrender when the FBI negotiators mentioned a public plea from his former

  • 2016 Legacy Newsletter
    2016 Legacy Newsletter "The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running." The Viator Vet (Loquacious Legacy?) Jack Lippincott T his could be the time for some of us more MATURE Legacy marathoners to consider moving down to the HALF marathon. Our legs are definitely beginning to feel those 10, 20, or WHATEVER finishes over the years. Why, oh why, do we "26'ers" keep pushing forward? Anyone have the answer? Anyone? Oooh-kay - I thought not. The logic has me stumped as well. I guess we have to admit that there never was any logic to what we did, when we decided not to just use our first marathon finish as a checkmark on a bucket list, and then go climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, instead of doing that darned run again. We could have just gone sky-diving, or what-EVER! Just gotta admit that we somehow fell in love with the challenge, and the terrific feelings of accomplishment, that are associated with doing each and every marathon. Could we possibly just get past those great feelings? See you on the roads, all you roadrunners... Arlen Isham Chief Cut & Paste Guy I started writing the Houston Marathon Legacy (then Veterans) newsletter in 1998. In 1999, 2000 and 2002, there were two newsletters. This will be the 19th year. Those newsletters can be found on the Legacy website and the most recent newsletters are also on the Houston Marathon website. Jack Lippincott provides the lead article under his title of "Viator Vet", which is a short v ersion of the term we used, because he validated all the new Legacy runners through the years from his paper copies of the results.
