The South Boston Neighborhood House is currently recruiting runners for their 2012 John Hancock Non-Profit Marathon Program “SBNH Ollie's Team” to fundraise for SBNH and participate in the Boston Marathon on Patriot's Day, April 16th, 2012.

Ollie's Team is currently recruiting runners until all spots on the team are filled. The minimum amount needed to be raised by each team member is $5,000, which will allow the runner entry into the Boston Marathon waiving the qualifying standard. Registered runners are also encouraged to apply who are already entered into the race for a lesser fundraising commitment, but want to be part of the team and benefit from being part of this charity program.

All runners on the team will receive training support and coaching, organized long runs on the course, organized hill workouts, discounts on running gear, monthly meetings, special events, fundraising support, a team singlet, private bus to the start, pre-race dinner, race weekend fun and a chance to make a difference through their running!
