More than 40 member of the Boston University men's rowing team participated in the Brian J. Honan 5K Run/Walk in Allston on Sunday. The Terriers ran the 3.1 mile course to raise money for the Brian Honan Charitable Fund which provides scholarships for Allston-Brighton school children. Over 1,500 runners participated in the annual event.
"It was great to come out and support the Brighton community," said senior Matt Maginnis, captain of the men's rowing team. "We got the whole team out here for a Sunday jog for a great cause and we had a lot of fun."
Boston University sponsored over 200 volunteer runners from all across the BU community. The money raised through the Honan 5K benefits the scholarship funds of the Allston and Brighton Board of Trade. The race also benefits the Honan Family Charitable Fund which donates to local and national programs that support education, recreation, housing and healthcare.
The Terriers were joined at the starting line by Boston Mayor Martin Walsh who posed for photos with the Terriers and thanked each personally for their participation.
"It is great to see all the Terriers out here today," said Mayor Walsh. "We certainly appreciate all the support BU gives to the Brian Honan Road Race."
The race was part of Boston University's Student Athlete Advisory Council's (SAAC) ongoing community outreach initiative. For more information about the race and the Brian J. Honan Charitable Fund click HERE
