2021 Boston Marathon®

The Team End ALZ program began in 2001 when a few dedicated athletes participated in the Boston Marathon® on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association. Since then, the program has raised over $8M, with the 2020 Boston Marathon Team raising over $400,000.

Team End ALZ is comprised of charity runners, time-qualified runners, and runners who received an invitational entry on their own. Funds raised by Team End ALZ runners directly supports our mission.
