With hearty support, Tufts Marathon Team runners brave the changing weather and run the course
The forty-nine runners on the Tufts Marathon Team saw April 15 begin with an early thunderstorm, started the race under cloud cover, were drenched in sun—and then soaked in rain, but they all finished the race.
“I’m so proud of them all—they are all amazing,” said Don Megerle, coach of the Tufts Marathon Team.
The team is made up of students, alumni, staff, and friends; each runner raises money to support nutrition, medical, and fitness programs at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
