Boston Marathon Race Director Dave McGillivray, gives a great and comprehensive interview at www.garycohenrunning.com . Dave discusses many things from his unique perpective of directing the 'Grandaddy of all Marathons' for over 20 years including the heat wave in 2004 and wicked Nor'easter which almost cancelled the race in 2007. He also talks about his 3,400+ mile Run Across America, annual 'birthday run' where he runs miles equal to his age, 37 consecutive Boston Marathons streak and an awesome Bill Rodgers story. Also included is cool 'Inside Stuff' including Dave's worst race director memory, favorite foods and childhood dreams.
