Events coordinator thinks big

At Seneca, the city’s events coordinator is thinking big. Riley Johnson told a committee meeting this morning at City Hall that he’s laying the groundwork to potentially qualify Seneca’s one-half marathon as an official qualifier for the Boston Marathon. There are a lot of hoops to clear before attaining such a designation, but Johnson has been getting advice from a professional race timer. Seneca’s next half marathon is scheduled for March—a few weeks ahead of the Boston run.
