Meb Keflezighi isn’t coming out of competitive retirement, but he will be running the Boston Marathon on April 16.
Keflezighi, who won the 2014 Boston Marathon one year after twin bombings rocked the world’s oldest annual 26.2-mile race, will run “on a non-competitive basis” representing the Martin Richard Foundation, in honor of the youngest victim of the bombings, according to the foundation.
The foundation “provides opportunities for young people to learn, grow and lead through volunteerism and community engagement,” according to its website.
Keflezighi retired after finishing 11th in the New York City Marathon on Nov.
