As you know, I was squeaked out of qualifying for the April's Boston Marathon last year by about 2 minutes. (Grrr....)
I tried very hard to acquire a charity bib. Bit by bit, I applied to far more charities than I ever expected to. Approximately 18 in total over the course of about 4 months or so. Alas, I was unsuccessful.
So, it seems like the only avenues remaining are the occasional contest. I applied for the World Marathon Tour -- nope! I looked at the Poland Spring contest, but was ineligible because VA residents were not among those who could apply.
Most recently, the contest for four bibs sponsored by Band-Aid brand bandages. I posted my video a few days ago; today is the end of the contest period. We'll all find out next week who wins those bibs. Grand total of FOUR are up for grabs. Fingers crossed.
Do any of you have direct connections, or close friends/family with direct connections to any of the Boston Marathon partners: sponsors, licensees, and contributors who might be able to acquire a sponsor bib? If I don't get one of the four Band-Aid bibs, an extremely rare sponsor bib likely would be the last-gasp opportunity.
