Lee Stabert

We're digging back into the Boston Marathon, one of the city's most beloved and enduring events. This time, the focus is on what makes this race so special and on the rich, passionate local running culture that is its beating heart. Pacing us on this journey is Matt Taylor, founder and and CEO of Tracksmith, a running gear brand with a classic New England aesthetic that was conceived by runners, for runners. Taylor is taking his second stab at the Marathon this week — we're rooting for him.

Here is Dan McQuade's original Philadelphia Magazine story on Rocky's training run; and here is the follow up on Defector.
