GBTC coach Tom Derderian announced the roster for the club's 2009 Boston Marathon Team. The teams will attempt to win the team prizes again. Last year's race provided great drama. The GBTC men ran ahead of the BAA by 12 seconds at 10 km, but the BAA team ran ahead by 19 seconds at the half, at 35 km the GBTC led by 1:34, then in the last miles the BAA burst ahead (or the GBTC team fell behind) for the GBTC team to finish 3rd, 2:18 behind the BAA. The women's team placed 7th last year.

The men's teams and women's team have each won in recent years. The GBTC teams are strong - the "gold standard" of three men at 2:30 and three women at 3:00 could happen.
