Manitoba chartered accountant Gerald Boulet
ran the Boston Marathon in April and finished
as the top Manitoban with a personal best time
of 2:59:20. His previous best was 3:05:24 at the
2010 Manitoba Marathon.
“I used my 'math brain' to run a calculated
race as 3 hours is often the mark that many
marathoners hope to someday achieve and I had
put in the hard work necessary to run a strong
finish to the race,” Gerald said.

He made the trip with his brother-in-law
Justin, who came in as the third Manitoban
with a time of 3:02:02. Overall, Gerald finished
1,420 out of nearly 26,000 entrants.
“I do realize this province has several better
runners than myself, yet having started running
in only February of 2008 I am quite proud
of this accomplishment. This was my third
full marathon, having qualified for Boston in
both of my previous full marathons. Being an
accountant, which is quite sedentary, I
realize the importance of physical activity
and having a ‘stress reliever’ such as
this,” Gerald said.
Running has become a Boulet family
affair. Gerald’s wife started running last
year and ran 2 half-marathons in 2010.
But as she was expecting their fifth child,
she was in walking mode in April. Most
recently, his oldest son ran 2 km in his
first run on his ninth birthday with the
goal of running a 5k race later this year.
Active in his community of Lorette,
Gerald is a mini-soccer coach, treasurer
for the Knights of Columbus and was
the Lorette Run Club lead person in
2010.
“While training for Boston this year
I ran with the Road Kill group out of
Winnipeg. The Dairy Farmers of Manitoba,
my employer, is also a very active

Manitoba CAs hit the ground running
Gerald Boulet, CA, at the finish line in Boston. The
photo was taken the day before the race as there was no
way to take a picture like this the day of or even after the
race. Gerald tells us that the hair loss is not a factor of
being an accountant – it runs in his family.
office with several people participating in the
Manitoba Marathon, including a relay team,”
Gerald said.
“I would strongly encourage anyone who
qualifies for Boston to go – it was the experience
of a lifetime. I feel very blessed to have had this
opportunity and could not have done it without
the support of those around me, especially my
wife,” he added.
