Boston 2019 Schedule


The Boston Marathon's coming this week, and I'm excited to
be there once again. I've run the last six consecutive Bostons, including last year on the 50th anniversary of my win in 1968, but this year I'm taking it easy.

Whew! Sometimes, it's nice to take it easy.

I'm planning to run the 5K on Saturday morning. I'll also be making a number of other appearances, listed below, with a focus on the BAA's new "Unicorn Club." That's a special VIP opportunity that's open only to runners who have finished at least five previous Bostons. I'm the Unicorn Club "ambassador" and am looking forward to meeting my fellow Boston veterans.

FRIDAY
4-5 pm: The Unicorn Club's special bib-pickup room at the Expo.
