Whether or not you're a marathoner, we invite recreational runners of all abilities to join our community by subscribing to the HCMC e-mail listserv. Who knows? After awhile, you just might end up being a marathoner, or a half-marathoner, after all!

Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC) is an organized group of Harvard students, employees, and alums that runs together and raises money to benefit the health, education, and welfare of Boston-area youth and their families. Since its inception in 2005-06, HCMC runners have raised over $160,000. This year, our runners will raise money for the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), a student-run, Harvard-based charity that operates over 70 community-based programs in Greater Boston.

In 2009-10, by virtue of their fundraising efforts, our official HCMC participants will be among the lucky few to earn invitational charity entries to run the 114th Boston Marathon, which will begin at 10:30am on Monday, April 19, 2010 (Patriots' Day). Between now and then, participants will meet and train with other Harvard runners, including many who are not running in the Boston Marathon but who just want to run with other Harvard community members.
