Gloria Ratti Collection
A day after winning the Boston Marathon, champions Benson Kipruto and Diana Kipyokei took a tour of the B.A.A.'s Gloria Ratti Collection, a display of archives, memorabilia, and history established by late B.A.A. Vice President, historian, and archivist Gloria Ratti. The collection was dedicated over race weekend in honor of Ratti, who passed away at the age of 90 earlier this year. Upon learning about Ratti's impact on the event and running community, Kipyokei graciously donated her autographed singlet and bib number.
