Former Marine Is Running His Second Virtual Boston Marathon

One of the thousands of athletes running the 2020 Boston Marathon already knows what it is like to run a virtual marathon. In 2014, Nathan Blackwelder of Beverly ran from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

The former Marine was a contract worker at the time and heard about Team MR8, which raises money for the Martin Richard Foundation. He reached out to the organizers and told them he wanted in.
