2027 Boston Marathon
In 1975, Bob became the Boston Marathon’s first officially recognized wheelchair finisher, opening the door for generations of athletes to follow.
In 2027, the Bob Hall Legacy Fund will carry that spirit forward with another marathon fundraising campaign supporting mobility, independence, and access.
