Spring Marathon Program

How does the program work?
The Marathon Training Program (MTP) is a special training program designed to help you prepare for and finish a Spring 2012 marathon. Select the race you'd like to run and in exchange for raising the funds and awareness to support the Alzheimer's Association of MA/N.H., we will pay your entry fee! We will also provide an individualized training program, singlet, and supported runs to help you reach your goal. Be it sub-3.5 hours and qualify for future races or proudly finish in 5-plus hours!
Over 250 runners have successfully trained with our team and many have successfully run many races including The Boston Marathon.
What is the Run for the Memory Program?
The Run for the Memory Program began in 2002 to provide runners with the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon while raising funds for research, education, and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. The program has grown to include; the Boston Marathon, New York City, Chicago, and Marine Corps Marathon, Boston’s Run to Remember Half Marathon and 5-Miler, Spring and Fall Reach the Beach Relay series, Falmouth Road Race and other marathons and local races.
What am I supporting?
Your fundraising dollars will help support the Alzheimer’s Association MA/NH Chapter in Watertown, MA. The money you raise allows us to continue to provide support for families currently dealing with this disease as well to help fund research into finding better treatments and understanding of the disease. All participants will agree to a minimum fundraising amount of $1,000. We will help you easily meet this amount with dedicated fundraising support and your own fundraising website.
