26.2 MILES FOR GOOD
Run Boston. Change Lives.
Run the 2027 Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America with Rebekah’s Angels, and turn every mile into support for children and families impacted by trauma.
As a member of the 2027 Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program, Team RA gives runners the opportunity to take on one of the world’s most iconic races while raising critical funds for our mission.
WHY RUN WITH REBEKAH'S ANGELS
More Than a Race Entry.
When you run with Rebekah's Angels, you are not just joining a marathon team. You are becoming part of our family. We cheer for you, support you, celebrate every milestone, and remind you why every mile matters. From training through race day, you are surrounded by people who are in this with you.
Personal support. A team that knows your name. A finish line that means more.
THE TEAM RA EXPERIENCE
From Acceptance to Boylston Street,
We Do This Together
Team RA is built around connection. Throughout the months leading up to Boston, our runners stay connected, get to know one another, and become part of a community that extends well beyond race day.
MONTHLY TEAM CALLS
Regular team calls give runners a chance to connect, ask questions, share updates, and go through the journey together.
PRIVATE TEAM RA COMMUNITY
Runners receive access to our private Facebook group with current Team RA runners and alumni for ongoing communication, encouragement, questions, and important updates throughout the season.
TEAM RA SWAG
You’ll receive Rebekah’s Angels gear to wear throughout training and on race day so you can proudly represent Team RA all the way to Boston.
PRE-RACE TEAM DINNER
On Sunday night before the marathon, runners and their families come together for dinner, celebration, and one last chance to connect as a team before race morning.
RUNNER COMMITMENT
Know What You Are Committing To
Being part of Team RA is an incredible experience, but it also comes with an important commitment to our mission. Each runner agrees to meet the fundraising minimum and stay actively engaged with the team throughout the season.
$15,000
2027 FUNDRAISING MINIMUM
Each Team RA runner commits to raising $15,000 in support of Rebekah’s Angels. Every dollar helps fund the work we do for children and families, making your Boston journey part of something much bigger than race day.
