26.TRUE: The Real Boston Marathon (Race Review)

This week on Runnah, I’m sharing my full race review of the 2025 26.TRUE Marathon, held on Saturday, April 19th. This wasn’t just a run—it was a movement. Designed to spotlight the vibrant, diverse neighborhoods of Boston, 26.TRUE is an unsanctioned 26.2-mile tour through the real Boston, celebrating communities too often overlooked during traditional marathon weekend.From the start line to the final stretch, the city came alive. It felt like all of Boston rose up to carry us forward. I’m talking about the electric atmosphere, the immaculate vibes, the energy on the course—and yes, a few things that could’ve used a boost (looking at you, bathroom situation 👀).Whether you ran it, watched it, or are curious about the future of inclusive running events, tune in for my reflections on what made this race so powerful, what could be improved, and why this is a marathon that matters.Link to the race: 26.TRUE Marathon
