People are at their strongest when they come together around shared purpose. Team Brookline harnesses the combined powers of sport and community to make a real, tangible, and positive impact within our town.
Expert Coaching

Stronger Together
Train with 30+ Team Brookline runners and over 100 fellow charity athletes as part of the Marathon Coalition — a powerful network of purpose-driven teams preparing for Boston together.
Fundraising That Fuels Local Impact
Every dollar you raise supports vital Brookline nonprofits — helping fund mental health care, youth programs, education, food security, and more.
26.2 Miles. One Town Cheering You Home.
From the start line in Hopkinton to the finish on Boylston Street, the Boston Marathon passes through eight cities and towns. Brookline comes late in the race, where Team Brookline’s cheer stops on Beacon Street help carry runners through the final miles.
One Town.
One Team.
Since 2012, we’ve engaged local and non-local runners to take part in the Boston Marathon with one purpose: raising funds for seven incredible charity partners. More than 430 runners — supported by their friends and family — have raised more than $4 million for these vital community organizations.
Our team ranges from first-time marathoners to seasoned veterans, from near and far — all sharing the same goal: to make our community stronger and healthier, and to expand access to life-improving resources for all. And, of course, to cross the finish line in Copley Square.
Your training is personal and personalized. Runners train together with professional, experienced marathon coaches, giving you the confidence to tackle the course by race day.
Seven Partners. One Finish Line.
Every runner’s fundraising goes directly to the organizations that make Brookline a healthier, more connected place to live, work, and learn.
