Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview Boston Marathon Race Director, Dave McGillivray, about all things Boston Marathon and beyond. Dave tells his story of his first Boston Marathon and how the race is intertwined with his grandfather.

Dave takes a deep dive into the history of the Boston Marathon and how it has evolved over the years, given that this year's race is the 127th running. He talks about the unique challenge of coordinating a point to point race and accommodating 30,000 runners on the narrow neighborhood streets leading to Boston.

Dave is an impressive athlete himself, completing several Ironmans, feats of endurance, and marathons, including 51 Boston Marathons. He explains the logistics of going back to the start to complete his race, long after thousands of participants have already crossed the finish line.
