Just Do It
Do you aspire to run America’s most legendary foot race? If so, consider joing Children’s Kids at Heart team.

Most Boston Marathon entrants must run a qualifying time at another certified marathon, but members of the Children’s Kids at Heart team earn their place at the starting line by making a different kind of commitment: raising at least $2,500 for the hospital. (Time-qualified runners, of course, are also welcome.)

Patient families are invited to join Kids at Heart as Patient Partners. This program pairs patients with runners to inspire their training and fundraising.
