My name is Kate Marrese and I am lucky enough to have been chosen to run The 130th Boston Marathon with Boston Scores, a non profit who provides soccer and enrichment programs for students in K-12. My story of running is not the most typical. I was always an avid soccer player since I was 5, but I never enjoyed running. Put a ball in front of me and I?ll run all day in a game. Run for fun, no way. However, about 15 years ago, I was bitten by the running bug and I never looked back. A goal to someday run Boston was born. A soccer injury sidelined me from running for over a year, and now I have set my goal to complete all 7 major marathons. I completed Chicago this year! I am also a teacher of 20+ years, 16 of them in the Cumberland, RI school district, so this foundation spoke to me and I am proud to have been chosen to run for them.
