""We've been coming to Clery's ever since I was on the team," said Eric Mendoza, who ran his first Boston Marathon in 2010. At 41, the Mattapan resident ran 2:39:29 on Monday, a part of a team of more than 20 runners this year."
""It's the social aspect of it," Norcross said about joining his fellow runners at Clery's. "I could care less about the beer. I care about the people. It's about the people.""
""It's common when we pass each other on the course to say, 'See you at Clery's.'""
After completing the Boston Marathon, runners from the Greater Boston Track Club gather at Clery's for post-race celebrations. This tradition has been ongoing for over 16 years, with members enjoying beers and protein bars in the pub's basement. Runners like Eric Mendoza and Rob Norcross highlight the importance of socializing with fellow participants, with Norcross emphasizing that the experience is more about the people than the drinks. While some prefer a meal after the race, the atmosphere remains focused on camaraderie and support among runners and their families.
