Friends of the Public Garden Seek Marathon Runners

Friends are part of the John Hancock Marathon program.

The Friends of the Public Garden are seeking runners for their 2014 Boston Marathon team, according to Mary Halpin of the Friends.

Halpin said in an e-mail statement that the Friends are part of the John Hancock Nonprofit Marathon program.

"In exchange for an official entry into the marathon, athletes will be required to raise funds to support the mission of the Friends," she wrote.

Halpin said members will receive training, clothing, fundraising support and other benefits.
