Charles River Watershed Association named official charity partner of the Boston Marathon (Press Release)

BOSTON, MA – Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) is excited to announce that it has been named an official charity partner of the 130th Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America.

CRWA’s Team Charles River will include four marathoners, and all funds raised by the team will support the nonprofit’s efforts in developing science-based strategies to enhance climate resilience, safeguard public health, protect the Charles River and promote environmental equity.

Runners with Team Charles River will receive full and personalized 20-week training plans by RRCA-certified coaches with organized group runs throughout the season starting in December.
