Help Coach The Children’s Room’s 2027 Boston Marathon Team!

Love running? Help our team go the distance for children, teens, and families who are grieving

The Children’s Room is looking for a dedicated individual to help coach and support our 2027 Boston Marathon team as they prepare for race day.

Whether you’re an experienced recreational marathon runner or an RRCA-certified coach, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

As a coach, you’ll help our runners prepare for the marathon by providing:

  • Training guidance: Develop a structured training plan for runners of varying experience levels, with opportunities to tailor plans to individual needs.
  • Ongoing communication: Connect with team members every two weeks to share training tips, recommendations, and encouragement.
  • Runner support: Provide monthly check-ins to answer questions, offer advice, and help runners stay on track throughout their training.

Why Get Involved?

Every runner on Team TCR is helping raise awareness and support for children, teens, and families who are grieving.

As a coach, you’ll play an important role in helping our runners prepare for the 2027 Boston Marathon while supporting a cause that makes a difference in our community.

This is a volunteer opportunity, although a stipend may be available for the right candidate.

Thank you to everyone who applied!

The Children’s Room is proud to participate in the 2027 Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program, with 10 bibs for runners taking on 26.2 miles in support of children, teens, and families who are grieving.

We’ll be announcing our 2027 Marathon Team soon!

Our runners will spend the months leading up to the 131st Boston Marathon® training and fundraising to help ensure that TCR’s grief support programs remain available to families at no cost.

Stay tuned to meet the runners representing The Children’s Room and learn how you can support them along the way!
