Welcome again to the Mass General Brigham Marathon Team! We’re excited that you’ll be joining us to support the patients, families, and communities we serve.
This year, we’re coming together to make an even bigger difference for the causes at Mass General Brigham that athletes like you are passionate about – and we look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
This update is the first in a regular series to keep you informed throughout the marathon season. We’ll share fundraising tips, reminders about team experiences, and helpful information. As you get started, please take a moment to review the information below.
- Save the date: Welcome Expo | Saturday, Dec. 12 at 11 am
Join us for our team kickoff event at Assembly Row (399 Revolution Drive, Somerville, MA 02145). Additional details are coming soon!
- Customize your GivenGain.
You should have received instructions on how to set up your GivenGain fundraising page. Take a moment to share your story and personalize your page.
- Prepare for training.
In December, we’ll introduce you to your dedicated coach, who will help you train and get ready for race day.

Develop a list of everyone you will reach out to, including:
- Holiday card recipients
- Neighbors
