Today, I’m joined by Jack Fleming, President and CEO of the Boston Athletic Association, an organization at the heart of one of the most prestigious and historic races in the world—the Boston Marathon. Jack has been with the B.A.A. for over three decades, giving him a front-row seat to the evolution of the marathon, the running community, and the sport as a whole.In this conversation, we dive into Jack’s personal running journey, his deep connection to the B.A.A., and the impact of major marathons on communities. We explore the growth of running culture, the importance of volunteers, and the B.A.A.’s work beyond the marathon, including local events that foster fitness and inclusion.Jack also shares insights into the behind-the-scenes logistics of organizing the Boston Marathon, how the race has evolved over its 129-year history, and what the future holds for both the event and the broader running community. If you love running, history, or want an inside look at what makes the Boston Marathon so special, this episode is for you.ChaptersCONNECTBoston Athletic Association on InstagramMarni On The Move Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or YouTube`Marni Salup on Instagram and Playlist on SpotifySUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTERSign up for our monthly newsletter, Do What Moves You, for Marni on the Move updates, exclusive offers, invites to events, and exciting news!SUPPORT THE PODCASTLeave us a five star review on Apple or SpotifySubscribe to MarniOnTheMovePodcast, YouTube ChannelTell your friends the episodes you are listening to on your social.
