Increases in production costs, and a decline in financial and other support is behind the move to end the event.
Founder Valerie McLean Cuddy said organizers hope to plan other events to benefit the Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs, a main beneficiary of the marathon. The center, which has received about $3 million from the event over its lifespan, provides early intervention services for children with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, brain injuries, blindness and genetic diagnoses.
“We hope this year will be the biggest and best race weekend we’ve ever put on and we can’t wait to give participants an incredible experience,” Cuddy said. Over its 21-year history, the slate of events has attracted more than 200,000 runners and raised more than $5 million dollars for area charities, organizers say.
The race, established in 2001, is a Boston Marathon qualifying race, and previously hosted the U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials.
