It was particularly awe inspiring when the first woman runner would come through...the "Screetch Tunnel" became even louder. You can hear it for miles. What a fantastic tradition.

I ran my first marathon in 1972 (101st, 2:42), and to this day my all-time best running memory is passing through Wellesley. I don't remember the name scream tunnel, but boy does that label fit. Somehow a horde of highly enthusiastic females does get ones spirits up. Thanks for the memories.

Never a participant, but often a spectator on the side of the road, I vow to one day not run (!) but join in this great Wellesley tradition.

It is one of the most amazing, exciting and fun things that I've witnessed at Wellesley. It is an event worth being a part of whether affiliated with Wellesley or not.
