One Run For Boston is the first ever non-stop running relay across America to raise funds and show support for the city of Boston and the people whose lives were changed forever on April 15, 2013.
The run started in Los Angeles on Friday June, 7 and will finish in Boston today.

The Runners will be running through Mendon and Upton today, if you see them make sure to cheer them on. To date the fundraising has raised approximately $75,000.
Mendon and Upton runners will meet at the parking lot on North Ave near Milford Street (my guess is this lot is Clough) in Mendon and Finish in the parking lot on Main Street east of the junction of Grove (VFW lot). According to the website the runners will run North Ave/Mendon Street and then turn right on Grove Street in Upton to the VFW lot. They will begin running around 1:00 p.m.
The Upton runners will run to Hopkinton. Meeting in the VFW parking lot in Upton at 2:00 p.m. they will run south on Route 140 and take on left on to Elm Street, at the end of Elm they will continue on Forest and at the end of Forest take a right on to Hopkinton Road.
