Craig Cinelli, a seasoned marathoner from Allendale, New Jersey, has built a remarkable reputation through his dedication to running whole and half marathons. Over the years, Craig has participated in more than twenty races, many of which have been charity events, demonstrating his passion for both fitness and giving back to his community.
One of his standout performances includes a 3-hour-and-32-minute finish at the Boston Marathon, a testament to his endurance and commitment. His participation in the 2013 Boston Marathon, despite its tragic turn, did not deter him.

During one New York marathon, he assisted a fellow runner by pushing a wheelchair through the course, underscoring his selfless approach to the sport. His contributions have collectively raised more than $120,000 for various charities, highlighting his impact both as an athlete and a philanthropist.
With every race, Craig Cinelli continues to use his passion for marathons to support others and make lasting memories.
