“The Team Framingham Boston Marathon program has been extraordinarily successful these past two years. Our Team Framingham runners have raised more than $113,000 for local charities. 46 of our 47 Team Framingham runners have successfully completed the grueling 26.2 mile Boston Marathon course. We are looking forward to yet another successful program in 2016 benefitting six wonderful organizations,” said Bower.

The lucky runners selected by random selection will be expected to raise a minimum of $1,500 for one of these six organizations, with a fundraising target goal of $2,500.

The selected runners have chosen the charity for which they wish to run, with a minimum of two runners per charity guaranteed.
