RUNNER’S WORLD

Dave McGillivray is a charity runner. Please reach down and hold onto your knee that is jerking in reaction, dismissing him as an under-prepared glory-seeker using the sport to support an unrelated cause, who will likely never run again. Charity runners have earned a bad rep, some of it deserved, but there are many exceptions. They aren’t all looking for someone to pay their way to an exotic locale or for a back-door entry to the Boston Marathon.

As Boston marathoners prepare for next week's haul from Hopkinton to Copley Square, Hap Farber is girding himself for a slightly longer run. This May, Farber and nine other ultradistance runners will run a combined 3,372 miles from San Francisco to Boston in 24 days to raise money for five local children's charities.
