In less than a week, all eyes will be on the city that Anderson Robbins calls home for the 120th running of the Boston Marathon. Our CEO, Jen Robbins, actually lives in Hopkington, not far from where the race begins. Despite our work across the country, Boston is our home-base and we decided that this week it would be fun to highlight the number of miles that thousands of runners with cover this coming Patriots Day.

Although the day is one filled with cheers, it is also with heavy hearts that we honor the three people who lost their lives during the race in 2013. May we always remember the youngest victim’s message of love: “No more hurting people… Peace.”

Good luck to all the runners! You can watch the entire race on WBZ-TV starting at 7 AM.
