About Team Brookline
One Town.
One Team.
Brookline’s official Boston Marathon team, turning every mile into support for the organizations that make our community stronger.
Purpose in Every Mile
Sport and teamwork, for Brookline
Team Brookline harnesses the combined powers of sport and teamwork to make a tangible and positive impact in our community. With every race we run and every dollar we raise, we expand access to life-improving resources for everyone who lives, works, and learns in Brookline.
Stronger together
We believe that people are at their best when they come together around shared purpose. We are creating a network of impassioned people, connected through sport, to build a stronger, more unified, and more philanthropic Brookline community.
Brookline’s Own Marathon Team
As one of just eight towns along the Boston Marathon route, Brookline has long been granted a number of race entries by the Boston Athletic Association. In 2012, the Town of Brookline launched its own official Boston Marathon team and charity program: Team Brookline.
The Brookline Center for Community Mental Health conceived of the “one town, one team” concept and has been the managing partner of Team Brookline since the 2013 Boston Marathon season.
