Twenty-six miles. That’s how far Hawks Travel & Equipment Manager Zac Walsh ran around Brookhaven in lieu of the Boston Marathon’s postponement.
The race was originally scheduled for Apr. 20, but as the coronavirus pandemic changed everyone’s lives, and the Marathon was postponed, he decided to still run it. Except it was around his home city of Brookhaven.
Little did he know, he’d see familiar faces along the way.
It all started with a few silly gifs. Chelsea Lane, the Hawks’ Vice President of Athletic Performance and Sports Medicine, went back and forth with Walsh over text, sharing gifs of people running, which Lane found humorous because she’s not a runner.
