🏃‍♂️🌟 Today marks the running of the Boston Marathon, one of the most revered events in the world of long-distance running. As Race Director of the @FreepMarathon, I'm continually inspired by the dedication and passion that the Boston event showcases.

This marathon not only exemplifies the spirit of athletic excellence but also community and resilience. Observing how the Boston Marathon brings together athletes from around the globe offers valuable insights into the power of sports to unite and uplift.

Best of luck to all the runners today! Your hard work and commitment remind us of what we strive to foster at our own event in Detroit. Let's keep pushing the limits and inspiring each other!

@hollerbach We do our best to notify all of the neighborhoods we know will be impacted by the route but ultimately we do not have control over what roads the police deem necessary to close for runner safety. We apologize for the inconvenience.
