About the Marathon

Through its charity program, the Boston Athletic Association® has awarded the Museum of Science with 15 numbers for the 117th running of the Boston Marathon®, one of the most prestigious races in the world. On April 15, 2013, each runner representing the Museum will have raised a minimum of $4,000 in support of the Museum's Traveling Programs, which brings science programs to over 100,000 students annually in schools, community centers, and libraries.

For over 15 years, Traveling Programs has helped the Museum forge strong connections with community organizations and leaders in an effort to broaden the availability of the Museum's resources. These programs provide a special opportunity for schools that simply do not have the financial resources for a field trip to the Museum. The funds raised by the marathon runners will support program expansion, scholarships, and more.
