73. The Boston Marathon: One Race, Two Experiences

In this special episode of More Than Miles, Kate and Kacy reflect on their very different—yet deeply personal—experiences at the 2025 Boston Marathon. Kacy, running her seventh Boston, shares the highs and lows from the course, from the nostalgic energy of Heartbreak Hill to the emotional charge of Boylston Street. Kate, who’s run Boston three times herself, was on the other side of the barricades this year—working in the finish line medical tent as part of the massive team supporting thousands of runners crossing the line.

Together, they bring two perspectives to one unforgettable race day: the physical and emotional grind of running Boston, and the organized chaos of caring for runners in distress. They also dive into stories from years past, race-day mishaps, and the reasons this race continues to inspire and humble them both. Whether you're chasing a BQ or just soaking in the vibe, this episode captures what makes Boston more than just a marathon—it’s a rite of passage.
