Run the Boston Marathon with The Children’s Room

Applications are now open to join The Children’s Room Marathon Team for the 131st Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America!

Thanks to the generosity of the 2027 Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program, The Children’s Room has 10 bibs for runners ready to take on 26.2 miles in support of children, teens, and families who are grieving.

As a member of our Marathon Team, you’ll represent The Children’s Room on one of the world’s most iconic marathon courses while raising critical funds for our grief support programs, offered to families at no cost.

We’re looking for runners ready to take on Boston and rally their communities around TCR’s mission. Throughout your training, we’ll be there with fundraising resources and guidance, along with opportunities to connect with fellow runners and the TCR community.

Whether you have a personal connection to our mission or simply believe that no one should have to grieve alone, we’d love to have you apply.

Each runner commits to a fundraising minimum of $12,000. See the application for full details.

Applications close September 30, 2026.

*Applications will be reviewed by The Children’s Room. Submission of an application does not guarantee a spot on the team.
