Robert Hall will once again be running in this year’s Boston Marathon on April 18, joined by his daughter Rachael and her boyfriend Dominic Monzione. This will be Hall’s 11th year running the storied course which spans from Hopkinton to Boston. It also marks his 20th marathon overall since 2009. In addition, this will be Rachael’s third Boston Marathon and Monzione’s first time running the race. As with prior years, Hall will be running to raise money to benefit Cops for Kids with Cancer. “It’s a great cause,” he said, adding that much of his support has come from Everett residents. “It’s the best city in the Commonwealth; I want to thank people for their previous support.” Hall is looking to raise $12,500 this year. Online donations can be made at https://copsforkidswithcancer.org/bobby-and-rachelhall-2022/. He will also be running in memory of State Police Det. Lt. William Coulter. With more than 45 years of service to the State Police, Coulter competed in 20 Ironman Triathlons and 150 marathons, which included 36 Boston Marathons. A cancer survivor, Coulter was the chairman of Cops for Kids with Cancer and was a member of the Massachusetts State Police Commissioned Officers Association. Hall said training six days a week is one of the most difficult parts of the Boston Marathon, which is now in its 126th year. “Maybe this will be my last one,” he said, adding that another challenge comes on race day when tens of thouJames Mitchell, publisher of The Advocate Newspapers, Inc., presents a check to Everett Police Sgt.
