It's Boston Weeks Baby! Time to get pumped up and ready for the 2026 Boston Marathon. All month long we'll be bringing you two episodes a week talking all things Boston and more with your local Boston Runners, Champions, Media personalities and people in the know with some great Behind The Scenes info as to what goes on around the Boston Marathon Weekend!

Today we kick off our Boston Weeks series with our guest Troy Hoyt from Team Hoyt. We're all well aware of the legacy Dick and Rick Hoyt started decades ago. We chat with Troy, about his family's legacy, his personal journey in running, and how they are building a future of inclusion while honoring the past. Discover inspiring stories, fundraising tips, and the incredible impact of the Hoyt Foundation and their ongoing efforts in adaptive sports, and their impact on the Boston Marathon community. Troy Hoyt shares heartfelt stories, updates on current projects, and the spirit of 'Yes, you can' that continues to motivate athletes and supporters alike.
