Busing to Marathon Start Available for All Framingham Runners

Buses will be made available for Framingham residents, who are running in the 2015 Boston Marathon, thanks to the generosity of the Team Framingham sponsors, announced Assistant Framingham Town Manager Jennifer Thompson and Framingham Selectman Mike Bower.

“Due to the very generous donations from our four corporate sponsors, busing will be provided for runners on Marathon Monday from the Loring Arena parking lot to the official BAA drop-off point at the EMC parking lots in Hopkinton,” said Bower.

Team Framingham runners, along with runners from the Greater Framingham Running Club, have already been invited to participate in this opportunity, said Bower in a written statement.

A Framingham public school bus will depart Loring Arena between 7:45 and 8:15 a.m. on Monday April 20, for the EMC lots in Hopkinton. The bus departure time is based upon the wave 4 start time.

Framingham residents who are official runners in the upcoming Boston Marathon can reserve a spot on the bus, while seating remains available by emailing Mike Bower at michaeljamesbower@hotmail.com.

BAA runners will need to provide a contact email address and phone number in your request.

Spots are available first come, first serve.

The official corporate sponsors for the Team Framingham training program are:

• Herb Connolly Acura
• Cumberland Farms
• LaCantina Italiana
• Allstar Auto Sales

Donations to the six Team Framingham charities can be made on the runner’s web-pages from links located at the following Town of Framingham web-site: www.framinghamma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/18208

Team Framingham runners have raised almost $35,000, at this time, for six worthy local charities.
