Summary

In this episode of Discover Boston College, Georgia Paris ’26 shares her deeply personal journey to the Boston Marathon as a runner for the Patriots Foundation. She reflects on how the loss of her high school cross country coach in the fall inspired her to finally pursue the marathon — something she had dreamed about for years. Georgia also speaks to the honor of being selected by the Patriots Foundation, the challenge of training on Heartbreak Hill right on BC’s campus, overcoming a recent injury, and the unwavering support from her sister, roommates, and mom, who will be cheering her on at Mile 21.
