Tremblay has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $9,000, aiming to raise awareness for this local charity that has provided nearly $100,000 in grants over the past five years. “I want to show her that you can push yourself to do hard things and that you can do anything you say you can do,” Tremblay stated, highlighting his motivation.
Cooper Miller, at just 19 years old, will be the youngest Seacoast runner in this year’s marathon. He reflects on the camaraderie of the race, saying, “That’s something I heard before last year’s race, and you realize that when you’re running.” Meanwhile, Thomas Adler, at 74, will be the oldest runner, showcasing the marathon’s appeal across generations.
Last year, Matthew Daly finished the race in an impressive time of 2:38:30, setting a benchmark for this year’s competitors. As the event draws closer, the excitement builds among participants and spectators alike.
