Zdeno Chara can add the Boston Marathon to the long list of his amazing accomplishments, and he did it in an impressive amount of time.
Crossed the Finish Line in Style
Wearing custom bib #3333 - for his jersey number - Chara finished the race in a very respectable 3:38:23. Not only that, but the former Bruins captain was serenaded with the team's goal song. See below:
According to Conor Ryan of Boston.com:
Chara ran the race in support of the Thomas E. Smith Foundation and the Hoyt Foundation. Father and son duo Dick and Rick Hoyt were Boston Marathon fixtures for years, with Dick, who passed away in 2021, pushing Rick in a wheelchair. The Smith Foundation supports those living with paralysis, while the Hoyt Foundation aims to �'build the individual character, self-confidence and self-esteem of America's disabled young people.''
Check it out below, as several people shared photos and videos of Chara on social media throughout the day:
