2026 Boston Marathon Team

We are so excited to introduce Aidan, coming in from New York. What started as a bucket-list goal has now become reality. With a couple of marathons already under his belt, Aidan is ready to take on Boston and we can’t wait to cheer him on. Thank you, Aidan!

A quote from Aidan:

My name is Aidan and I started running about three years ago to start training for the New York City Marathon in order to raise money for ALS, a disease that my family has experienced the battle with before. Originally being from Massachusetts, it has always been a dream to one day run the Boston Marathon (even before I got into running I knew it was on my bucket list).

This year I will have run in the New York City Marathon and Chicago Marathon, but the opportunity to raise money for a charity close to home and my heart is something I’m incredibly excited for. I look forward to meeting all my team members in Boston soon, and to raise money for an incredible foundation. Please feel free to support in any way you can!

We are so thrilled to have Doug on Team ALF. Doug has supported A Leg Forever for years, including joining us at our annual golf tournament — and now he’s taking that support to the next level by stepping onto our marathon team. We couldn’t be more excited.

Doug will be running beside his brother Eric, which is sure to be something to see. And if these brothers are anything like JP, Paul, and Jonathan… let’s just say we might have a friendly little bet coming! We can’t wait to cheer this duo on all the way to Boylston Street.

A quote from Doug:

My name is Doug Woodford and the 2026 Boston Marathon will be my 11th marathon and second Boston! I love to run and raise as much money for worthwhile organizations like A Leg Forever. Playing in ALF’s golf event has me inspired to do more. Can’t wait for race day!

Next up for 2026… from our hometown of Stoneham, MA - four-time Boston runner, Giovanni Leone.

We are over the moon to have Gio back with us yet again! When Gio was just 17, he told us he wanted to run Boston. We said, “Come back when you're 18.” Well… he did — and then again, and again, and here he is for round four!

Gio is an absolute force on the course, one of our fastest marathoners. Watching him run is electric. This kid does not stop for a pic or a hug… he’s all business, all heart, and all in for ALF, both running and fundraising.

Thank you, Gio, we’ll be cheering loud and proud for you all the way to Boylston!

Thank you, thank you!!

This will be Mike’s first, and according to him, his only  marathon (we’ll see about that!). We are excited and honored to have Mike running for Team A Leg Forever in 2026.

And if you’re driving through Walpole, you might just spot him out training around town. Feel free to give him a friendly toot as you go by.

A quote from Mike:

At the end of the day, when you have the opportunity and the means in your life to help others, you need to take advantage of those times to contribute.

Thank you, Mike, for making a difference in the lives of amputees and their families. We’re proud to have you on Team ALF.

This is Robyn’s very first marathon, and we are incredibly grateful she chose to run it with A Leg Forever. Having Robyn and her sister Tracy on our team as the 2026 sister duo brings a level of excitement and heart that truly represents the spirit of ALF.

It would be impossible not to acknowledge the tremendous support Robyn, her family, and Marshall Roofing have given to ALF from day one. Their generosity toward the foundation — and their immediate support for JP and Paul after the bombing — is something we will never forget. We are forever grateful for their love, support, and never-ending kindness. Please join us in welcoming Robyn to Team ALF.

A quote from Robyn:

I will be running my first ever marathon in Boston for this incredible charity, A Leg Forever, alongside my sister and all the other amazing runners. I am honored to have been chosen to run for ALF after working alongside the founders, JP and Paul, years ago. Now it’s my turn to make a difference in the community and in the lives of amputees.

We are thrilled to welcome back for her 7th year with Team A Leg Forever, the incredible Zelia Magliozzi. Over the years, Zelia has raised more than $80,000 for our foundation, making a lasting impact on the amputee community we serve.

A dedicated athlete, Zelia has completed all the major marathons (and many more), earning her place as a true powerhouse in the running world. But what makes her extraordinary isn’t just her athletic achievements, it’s her heart.

Zelia is a force both on and off the course. When fellow runners have struggled or doubted they could finish, she has been the one encouraging, supporting, and lifting them all the way to the finish line. Her commitment to the mission of A Leg Forever, and her unwavering belief in others, has made her one of the greatest blessings to this foundation.

We often say that God has a plan for everything, and we are truly blessed that He sent us this running angel.

We can’t wait to cheer her on once again in 2026!

Thank you, Zelia, for everything you’ve done and everything you continue to be.

Fun Fact: She could probably wallpaper her entire house with ALF running gear… and we love her for it!
