Each year 15 runners run for Ashland in the Boston Marathon.  

Each runner is required to raise a minimum of $3,000 in funds that benefit the town.  

This year we will spotlight a few runners in each issue of Local Town Pages leading up the marathon to show our support as a community for their hard work and thank them for choosing Ashland! 

The 129th running of the Boston Marathon will take place on Monday April 21.  

This year’s runner are: Eesha Yadav, Mikayla Tirabassi, Benjamin Savage, Michelle Rose, Bernice Reznick, Siobhan O’Reilly, Christian Navarro, Telio Keegan, Makeda Keegan, Nick Howes, Maggie Campion, Thalita Abreu, Alison Rose, Tom Goss, Joanne Forrest.

Our 2024 Boston Marathon runners raised $81,357, which is outstanding! The funding raised is the sole source of funding for the BAA Grant Program. Grants are offered twice a year and the focus is that funding request benefits the residents of Ashland in some way. 

Please consider supporting the runners and know that the funds will go right back into the community! To make a donation, go to City Hall Systems page via the town website, www.ashlandmass.com.  Donations can also be made by check. Include the name of your runner in the memo area of the check.
