DORCHESTER, MA — We had three members of our 2020 BGCD Marathon Team run this year’s virtual Boston Marathon on a specially designed Dorchester route starting and finishing at BGCD on Saturday September 12th. Our team members began the marathon at 8 AM and left from our Clubhouse on Dorchester Ave. We tracked them as they completed their 26.2 mile journey through the streets of Dorchester and into Boston that then led them back to our Clubs where they crossed the finish line.

Thank you to our entire BGCD Marathon Team, who helped raise vital funds to support our Clubs, members and families. You all did an amazing job and have accomplished an incredible goal!

And thank you to our Official 2020 Team Sponsor, Planet Fitness, for your generous support and partnering with BGCD.
