Volte Aims To Do Well at 128th Boston Marathon

Tomorrow, Volte will send 13 runners - including a 14th independent who runs with us quite a bit - to the start of the 128th Boston Marathon.

It is the 11th consecutive running of the race - excluding 2020 when the race was not run due to the COVID-19 pandemic - that Volte has had a runner in it.  

Every year since the group's inception.

Our group is always welcoming to every pace, but Boston has a special place in Volte's fiber.

Some like Rob Gay and Jason Bodie are running it for the first time.

Others like Laura Faria and Sandra Tezino seem like they have their own shuttle to Beantown.

We have two sets of brothers running - Gus and Juan Murillo and Roger and Robert King.

Stephanie Reed
is running it for the third consecutive year.

This will be the third time for Yaya Herrera, and her first since 2019.

Jane Cardnell is in for her second consecutive year.

Angel Martinez Interiano and Christine Hobeika round out our official 13, while Mia Cieslar is the 14th!

Volte had 13 finishers in 2018, 12 last year and 10 in 2015.

Big shout-out to the following as well:

Volte alumni Meredith Moss
Community legend Ronnie Delzer
Volte friend Terence Baptiste
Great guys of our community Michael Menster and Joe Killeen
Outrival Racing coach Heather Jorris

We wish that everybody runs well for them and an incredible experience that includes a finish on Boylston Street!
