2018 Boston Marathon - Links to 80+ Race Recaps


It's been over a month since I finished the 2018 Boston Marathon. I'm so grateful for the support I've received and every $1 donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.

Unfortunately, as usual, I still haven't finished my race recap. Ugh. I'm determined to gather my thoughts so that I can eventually share my story.

In the meantime, I've enjoyed reading other runners' recaps. Below are the links in alphabetical order by blog or website.

And, if you wrote a recap that you'd like to include, please share your link in the comments and I'll ad to the list. Please note that comments are published after approval.

2018 Boston Marathon Medal Donated to Medals4Mettle



I donated my 2018 Boston Marathon medal to Medals4Mettle - a 501c3 public charity that collects donated marathon, half marathon and triathlon finishers’ medals and awards them to children and adults for the mettle and courage they demonstrate battling cancer, chronic illness, trauma and other life challenges. I am the Philadelphia chapter coordinator so please contact me for more information.
