National Black Marathoners Association and Boston Athletic Association Partnership
BOSTON, June 19, 2020 /PRHandout/ -- On this Juneteenth, we'd pleased to announce a historic partnership between the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) and the National Black Marathoners Association (NBMA). Thanks to the BAA's allocation of five charity entries into the Boston Marathon, the NBMA will be able to expand our programs. This includes the National Black Distance Running Hall of Fame History Project.
"We're excited to be a part of the Boston Marathon's rich history and charitable organizations," says Tony Reed, the NBMA Executive Director. "This partnership allows us provide college scholarships to deserving high school distance runners, to educate youth and adults about Black distance running athletes, and to embed Black running coaches in their communities throughout the US."
