Within days of its creation, the Foundation announced it would field applications from runners wishing to run the Boston Marathon in honor of Martin while also raising funds to fuel his Foundation's mission. On April 21, 2014, 102 members of the inaugural "Team MR8" helped Boston reclaim its race by running the 118th Boston Marathon. Since then, Team MR8, the name of which comes from Martin's initials and his favorite sports number, has run in New York and Chicago as well as half marathons and smaller races along the way. Team MR8 has enabled the Martin Richard Foundation to help create Boston's first Little League Challengers Baseball program which successfully fielded two teams of children with physical and cognitive challenges and their Buddies from local Little League teams for six weeks of baseball at Savin Hill's McConnell Park in Dorchester. Plans to expand the baseball program as well as to include other sports like soccer, basketball and track are underway.
