Hi, I’m Charlotte! Having been a recreational runner most of my life, running 5Ks, 10ks and half marathons, I’ve been well aware of just how legendary the Boston Marathon is. Moving to Boston over 10 years ago planted the seed, I definitely wanted to run it! Getting in however was no easy feat. I’ve put my name in many hats to try and win a place and I’ve volunteered hours with running clubs to increase my chances. After running a trail race hosted by the Essex County Trail Association, luck was on my side and my name was pulled out of the hat to run Boston 2025!!! I am now tasked with raising $3,500 for the ECTA, alongside training in the Boston winter for my first marathon! The ECTA stewards hundreds of miles of stunning trails throughout Boston’s North Shore communities giving families just like mine the chance to get outside and enjoy the best of what nature has to offer. Please consider supporting me and this worthy cause today so we can make the north shore proud and the trails even better!
