Cheer On Team MDSC Marathon Runners
Join us at the 120th Boston Marathon
Patriots Day, 12:00pm

 

 

 

Returning runners always say our cheering section is what pushes them to reach that finish line.  The MDSC Cheering Section is just before Heartbreak Hill on Commonwealth Avenue opposite Chesterfield Road in West Newton where there is a nice grassy area. See an interactive map here or click image above. 

 

We encourage you to take advantage of Public Transportation. Our cheering section is a 15 minute walk from the Woodland Station stop on the Green Line's 'D' Train. 

  

The cheering section will be set up as early as 10 a.m. We encourage members to arrive no later than noon because the earlier you go, the easier it will be to make your way to the cheering section (and, if driving, to find a parking spot). Most of our MDSC runners pass through between 1 and 4pm. 


 

Upon arrival, an MDSC representative will be present at the cheering section. There will be posters for you to decorate, pom-poms, noise-makers, and other items to keep the runners motivated. We encourage spectators to bring blankets and a picnic lunch to enjoy with your friends!

 

If you and your families are planning to attend to cheer on our runners, please email Membership Services Coordinator Kristen Tenglin at ktenglin@mdsc.org.  We hope to see you there... We are hoping to have a huge crowd this year to cheer on our Champions! Meet them below...

Help Team MDSC Reach their Marathon Goals
Be "Down Syndrome Strong" this Patriots Day

 

Each of our 7 runners has set a personal fundraising goal and could use your help so they can achieve and surpass their goal by Marathon Monday. Each of these Champions have their own personal stories, but they are united by one common passion: to promote acceptance and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome and other disabilities.
