Marathon runners are elite athletes who train for months to complete 26.2 miles. The Boston Marathon is reserved for the best of the best. They must complete another race, often called a Boston qualifier, to even be considered to run. The marathon brings together the world’s best runners. The race attracts upwards of 30,000 runners from around the world to Boston each year. Most of them will never actually win the race, but they want to have fun along the way. One runner took a dance break during the Boston Marathon a few years back, making people smile.

The Dance Might Be the Best Part of the Boston Marathon
Here’s the thing: we are never going to win the Boston Marathon, but we can bust a move with the best of them. Seeing Bostonians cheering for runners along the route truly makes us smile. When the crowd nears the 11-mile marker, make sure to have tunes playing and high energy to keep the runners motivated. One runner heard Rob Base’s It Takes Two playing and knew he had to show the crowd what he’s working with.
Not only can this man dance, but he’s doing it after running 11 miles. We can’t even imagine, and neither could many others.
“Imagine being 11 miles in and still having this much energy lol he is a legend,” someone wrote.
“After 11 miles I’m staying right TF there,” another person joked. “I’m tiiddddeee.”
People loved seeing this Boston Marathon runner dance and not taking his life too seriously.
“I love runners who don’t care about their time…just out there living it up,” a comment reads.
“If you build a stage the performers will come,” someone else joked.
We have no idea where this guy lived, but we know he had fun along the way.
