#RunStrong in Boston From the Comfort of Your Home

Runner live-broadcasts 26.2 miles for charity and enables viewers to experience a new perspective; media invited to re-broadcast content
 
BOSTON - April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Two years ago, Ken Bereski had just finished the Boston Marathon when the bombs went off. Deeply affected by this experience, Mr. Bereski, an avid runner, founded OneRun to help support victims of this and other similar tragedies. This year, Bereski and fellow OneRun board members Bryan Huberty and Spencer West will be running 26.2 miles to raise funds, and to share the experience remotely with the millions of supporters from around the world seeking to show solidarity with the athletes, the spectators, and the entire city of Boston.

For the first time ever, the full Boston Marathon experience will be live-streamed from the perspective of a runner, in real time, via a head-mounted Contour camera worn by Bereski, enabling viewers to see the race as Bereski sees it. The live feed will be available April 20th from approximately 9:30 a.m. -3:30 p.m. EST via OneRun.us. The public and media may freely rebroadcast, (with proper credit to OneRun and copy of broadcast provided).

Says Bereski, “The theme that emerged from the tragedy, and continues to this day, is that of togetherness and unity. Our run is in honor of those most directly affected, but also belongs to all those whose strength and compassion epitomize #BostonStrong: wherever we are, and whatever our role in the healing process, this year we all run Boston!”
