Passersby hurled beer cans and insults at Neil Weygandt during training runs. In the late 1960s, most people thought he was crazy for wanting to race 26.2 miles. But he liked the challenge and the camaraderie of running marathons. On Monday, Weygandt will run the Boston Marathon for the 44th consecutive year, the longest such streak.

It was Sunday, April 15, barely 12 hours before the first runners would leave by bus for the town where the Boston Marathon begins, and the men and women in the trailer parked at the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth streets near the finish line watched on their TV monitors and computer screens as information poured in about falling trees and power lines, flying camera cranes and port-a-potties, and ankle-deep mud at the staging area in Hopkinton.

Dave McGillivray lives by two simple rules: plan for everything and stay positive.
Yet McGillivray's life is anything but simple. He's an endurance-running machine, a tireless philanthropist, and one of the best race directors the world has ever seen. That reputation was put to the test in April, when a nor'easter threatened McGillivray's main event, the Boston Marathon.

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.
