The world’s oldest marathon is on today with the 126th running of the Boston Marathon.
Nova Scotia is being well represented with several “Bluenoser” runners including: Denise Robson of Chester, Jamie Fitzgerald from Glace Bay, Jarvis GooGoo originally from We’koqma’q First Nation, now living in Dartmouth and the Father/Daughter duo of John and Kara MacKinnon of Sydney and Halifax.
For Kara, this will be her second in Beantown but first running with her dad John, which has been a goal of hers the last few years.
She’s looking forward to creating a special memory.

The Boston Marathon was cancelled for the first time ever in 2020 because of COVID-19 and was rescheduled last year in 2021.
The run began this morning at 10 am Atlantic time with sunshine and a high of 12 degrees in the Boston forecast.
Good luck to all our runners from here at home!
