As followers of this vaunted blog know, we try to make it as easy as possible for you to get live-time updates about our runners, with a little help from the BAA and the AT&T Athlete Tracker.
So without further ado, here's what you need to know. And ado.
Start here, at the BAA's official website to get the details.
You just text the runner's bib number to the following number: 234567
So where do you get said runner's numbers? Well funny you should ask.
Andrew is running his third consecutive Boston Marathon. He'll be sporting his Marvel Comics shirtwear throughout the day. Avengers Assemble on the Marathon Course.
Andrew's number is 29336
Tom Beaupre will be making his Boston Marathon debut this year. This from the guy who used to curse me out every time our annual three-mile jaunts during the holidays ended up stretching into 4 or God forbid, 5 milers. And now he's about to crush 26.2.
Tom's number is 29335
Nicole Hatem is following in her mom's footsteps and blazing a trail through the hills of Newton for HER first marathon, and laughing all the way! The Scream Tunnel at Wellesley College will take on a whole meaning for the woman who used to lose her own voice leading the screams.
Nicole's number is 31437
The father-daughter tandem of Phil and Alyssa Maia are making history as the Senor and Senorita run into the history books, on Alyssa's birthday, no less. And her dad marked the day she was born by logging a blazing 3:15 marathon 23 years ago! All of Lowell High Cross Country and Track alum - take note - the Senor Is Holding Court!
Phil Maia is number 14712,
Alyssa Maia is number 28085
And finally, the Godfather of the Boston Marathon, Scott Graham, is running in his, like, 48th consecutive Boston Marathon. Or something in that neighborhood. When he's not occupied running runners off the road in Westford, Scotty G. is rocking the striped pants and burning up the trails and roadways at a blistering pace.
Scott is number 13791
And that's a wrap for this year's "Official" E Streeter entrees. There's certainly more that will be checking in at various points throughout the run, but these are the folks who have earned the laurels, the blisters, and the accolades.
Follow them, get your text alerts, and wish them all their Greatest Run Ever!
See you on the other side!
