Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick’s dream to run a full marathon will become a reality soon. The American star will be among the 20,000 runners at Monday’s 125th Boston Marathon, her first ever long distance running experience. 


For her first full marathon, Patrick will wear Bib No. 500 and hopes to finish inside the four-hour mark. “The only bucket list item I have is to run a marathon. And I hope it will be fun because the focuses have been train, be prepared, feel good, have fun,” Patrick told ftw.usatoday.com recently.


Only those runners who have participated in full marathons are eligible to be part of the Boston Marathon. But Patrick, her sister, Brooke Selman and friend Erin Buntin are allowed to run without qualifying because they are supporting a charity—Light Foundation—started by former American footballer Matt Light. Patrick is the honorary captain for Team Speed of Light. The three have collectively raised around $48,000, according to Buntin.
