TEAM INSPIRE
Team Inspire is our team of dedicated and passionate runners who exhibit the power of the human spirit through the sport of the marathon.
Members of Team Inspire receive entry to a world class marathon and fundraise to further the mission of the 26.2 Foundation. They receive training and fundraising support, team gear and a race day singlet, and more.

The 26.2 Foundation has been a proud recipient of B.A.A. invitational entries since 1996, and the charitable donations raised by team members have been instrumental to our projects and programs. We are deeply grateful for our runners’ engagement and support, inspired by their accomplishments and generosity, and impressed by their diversity and reach. In 2024, our team members that participated in the Boston Marathon hailed from Canada, Guatemala, Indonesia, Thailand, Qatar, United Kingdon, and eight US states. Six of our Team members earned their Abbott World Marathon Majors sixth star and together, the Team raised over $245,000.
Our application is now closed for the 2025 Boston Marathon, presented by Bank of America.
Running has a greater purpose for me... running has helped me cope with the most difficult times of my life... running saved my life!
Thank you to the 26.2 Foundation for giving me the opportunity to run on your behalf, making my dream of running Boston a reality.
