Callinan turns 18 on race day, making her the Youngest Boston Marathon runner

Ever since she was a young girl, Caitlin Callinan wanted to run the Boston Marathon. “This has been a dream forever for me,” Caitlin said. She was too young to qualify, but on April 16th she turns 18, and that just happens to be Marathon Monday. “Now that it’s my 18th birthday, I said, ‘That’s my chance.’ It was meant to be." Caitlin will be the youngest official Boston Marathon runner. You have to be at least 18 to run Boston. “I am beyond excited. It’s a huge day especially since I am doing this for my grandfather and for the liver foundation. My grandfather has non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, and me and him have always been super close so, and he’s done so much for me, and I feel like this is my chance to give back to him,” Caitlin said.
