3 Warren Runners To Race In 2022 Boston Marathon

WARREN, NJ — Three Warren runners will be among 30,000 to tackle one of the most iconic and notable road races — the 2022 Boston Marathon on Monday, April 18.

For the first time since 2019, the Boston Marathon will take place on Patriots' Day — a Massachusetts holiday commemorating the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War. The day begins with military marchers at 6 a.m., with several waves of athletes beginning the race in Hopkinton throughout the morning.

Here is a list of the Warren runners:

• Christoffer Johnston, 36: Wave 1, Corral 2, Bib No. 1199
• Michael Ren, 57: Wave 4, Corral 2, Bib No. 25950
• Gaoxun Wu, 51: Wave 2, Corral 4, Bib No. 11849

There are several ways to track participants on race day:

• Download the Boston Athletic Association's racing app, which is free on iPhone and Android devices.
• Follow along on the B.A.A. website, which will change April 18 to allow people to track runners on race day.
• Sign up for AT&T text alerts, which will text you when your favorite athlete reaches certain race milestones and crosses the finish line on Boylston Street in Boston.
