Invitational Boston Marathon numbers up for grabs
As a community along the Boston Marathon route, Wellesley receives a handful of invitational bibs for the race that are assigned to local non-profits and the War Memorial Scholarship Fund, which in turn assign them to race participants able to raise at least $5,000. The application period runs through Nov. 27 (charity application and participant application).
The Select Board will designate organizations and War Memorial Scholarship Fund runners who will receive invitational entries for the 2024 race. Entry recipients will be notified by Dec. 5.
