Thomas Perri

There's something about the Boston Marathon. Like The Masters, le Tour de France, or Wimbledon; the allure and prestige of the Boston Marathon transcends the sport itself. Unlike other pinnacles of sport, Boston provides a one-of-a-kind platform where an (almost) everyday runner can toe the line with the best-of-the-best. Despite its formidable standards, Boston still makes a certain level of greatness feel attainable, even for the ordinary person.
Join legendary runners like Patricia Barrett, Dick Beardsley, Sara Mae Berman, Tiaan Bosch, Amby Burfoot, Jack Fultz, Lin Gentling, Bobbi Gibb, Jeff Galloway, Dave McGillivray, Bruce Mortenson, Dakotah Popehn, Lisa Rippe, Bill Rodgers, Valerie Rogosheske, and Kathrine Switzer as they share their Boston Marathon Triumphs. Those runners, and many others, tell their stories of the Boston Marathon to "Pacer Tom" Perri, as he strives to reach his 800th marathon by June of 2026 while battling Stage 4 cancer.
