South Shore Half Marathon

Chris' daughter, Holly, has been a patient at Boston Children’s since she was a toddler, when she was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA is a chronic condition with no cure, so her treatment focuses on managing joint inflammation, swelling, pain, and tenderness.

Thanks to the exceptional medical care, therapy, and support she has received at Boston Children’s Hospital, Holly has grown into a happy, confident teenager who continues to thrive despite her diagnosis.

Chris has run 14 marathons, and the 2026 Boston Marathon will be his second time running Boston. Later this year, he also hopes to run Berlin as part of his goal to earn the Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal, which includes Boston, Berlin, London, Chicago, Tokyo, and New York City.

While each of these races has been an incredible experience, Boston is especially meaningful to Christ. It’s a world-class event, and there’s nothing quite like running such a prestigious race in the place he calls home, with friends, family, and teammates cheering him on.

Every marathon Chris has run has been in support of charities focused on children’s health and well-being. With the generosity of friends, family, colleagues, and now all Wicked Fast Race Co events, he's raised more than $70,000 to date. For Boston 2026, he's proud to be running with the Boston Children’s Hospital Miles for Miracles team. He runs to help children like Holly receive life-changing care, and to offer hope to families facing difficult diagnoses.
