communicate critical event updates and safety information to
thousands of staff and volunteers during the 127th running of the
Boston Marathon. The prestigious race is scheduled to take place
next week on Monday, April 17th with a field size of 30,000
participants.
“We are always looking for ways to enrich our participants’ race
experience, especially in the area of health and safety,” said
Chris Troyanos, ATC – Medical Coordinator for the Boston Athletic
Association. “The Everbridge mission of keeping people safe aligns
with our overall commitment to the success of the Boston Marathon,
and Everbridge provides us with an important tool in the event of a
situation that requires immediate and effective communications
across our team of volunteers.”
More than 10,000 staff and volunteers will be stationed at
various positions including medical tents along the 26.2-mile
marathon route that starts in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and ends in
downtown Boston. Volunteers will receive notifications via the
Everbridge app and SMS in the event of an incident or disruption,
as well as important race day information including start/finish
times of the athletes; updates on the number of runners on the
course throughout the day; road reopening and cleanup efforts; and
coordinating the pick-up and transportation of any participants who
may drop out. Everbridge staffers will be present in the B.A.A.’s
Operations Center on race day to assist in sending the
communications.
With the exception of 2020, when the Boston Marathon went
all-virtual at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this marks the
fifth time in six years that Everbridge and the Boston Athletic
Association have teamed up to support the race since the
partnership began in 2018.
“As a Boston-based company, the Marathon has always had a
profound meaning for our organization and employees,” said David
Wagner, CEO of Everbridge. “We are honored to continue to serve the
Boston Athletic Association on race day and help do so in a safe
and vigilant way for every runner, volunteer, and staff
member.”
The Everbridge network of customers in Boston also includes the
Boston Police Department, Boston Public Health Commission, and the
Boston Fire Department, as well as the State of Massachusetts.
In addition to the Boston and Philadelphia Marathons,
Everbridge’s technology has been used to keep people safe during
some of the world’s largest gatherings and events, such as the
International Summer Games in Tokyo and the annual famed
championship football game in the United States. Public safety
agencies across the U.S. and around the globe have adopted the CEM
