Team BMC

Thank you for your interest in joining Team BMC! Our 2025 Boston Marathon team has been filled and applications are now closed. Join our email list to learn about future Team BMC opportunities more ways you can get involved with and Boston Medical Center.

We’re not just looking for runners—we are looking for BMC ambassadors who are passionate about our mission. As a Team BMC member, you’ll share BMC with your networks and raise critical funds to support its patients, caregivers, and programs. While the fundraising minimum for accepted 2025 runners is $8,000, 2024 runners raised an average of $10,000.

Our team will review online applications and reach out with next steps. We have a limited number of spots, and athletes are accepted on a rolling basis.

Email Team.BMC@bmc.org if you are a 2025 Boston Marathon® qualifier and already have a bib from the B.A.A. The fundraising minimum for 2025 qualified runners is $1,000 and team members receive all the same resources and incentives.

BMC is not only home to world-class clinicians and innovative treatments—we also are pioneers of programs that impact lasting good health. Over the years, more than 1,100 Team BMC athletes have raised more than $9.5 million to support BMC’s efforts to build a healthier Boston. Funds raised through the Boston Marathon® support our work—much of it not reimbursed by insurance—that drives equitable health outcomes. Here are just a few examples of what philanthropy helps us do:

• Economic Mobility: Wealth = better health outcomes. That’s why BMC created an Economic Justice Hub to offer financial coaching, pathways to jobs, free tax preparation services, and more for families when they come in for appointments.
• Nourishing Our Community: Our hospital-based food pantry, the first-of-its-kind in the nation, distributes more than 1 million pounds of nutritious food to patients and their families each year. BMC’s Teaching Kitchen uses fresh ingredients in our healthy cooking and nutrition classes for our community. Some of the fresh produce used by these programs is grown at our two Rooftop Farms.
• Urgent Health Needs: One in five children and adolescents in MA has a behavioral health condition, but stigma, workforce shortages, and social factors can prevent timely care. To combat the rising mental health crisis, BMC is expanding TEAM UP, an initiative integrating behavioral health into pediatric clinics in community health centers and removing barriers to care for patients in historically marginalized communities.

Training and fundraising for the Boston Marathon® takes dedication. We are deeply grateful to our Team BMC athletes for their commitment to supporting BMC patients and the community.

To say thanks, accepted Team BMC athletes will receive:

• Team BMC apparel
• access to complimentary marathon coaching and training
• fundraising incentive opportunities
• fundraising page, tips, and tools for success
• race-day perks
• and much more!

Thank you to the 82 athletes and donors who supported Boston Medical Center through the 128th Boston Marathon®. Because of you, BMC is reducing health inequities and providing innovative services for patients and their families.
