Former Bruins defender Zdeno Chara has decided to take on another challenge by running the Boston Marathon.
Running a marathon is something most people would never dream of doing, but Chara is not your average person.
Chara arrived in style, wearing custom bib #3333 (Chara’s NHL number was 33).

Chara, who is 6’9, was easy to spot because he was much taller than all the other runners.
