Featuring certified full and half marathons that serve as Boston qualifiers, along with 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km, the event balances competitive racing with inclusive fun. Kids (12 and under) can join the 1 km Turkey Trot, and everyone is welcome to take part in the playful Wedding Dress Dash. After the races, participants can enjoy post-race perks like snacks, hot chocolate, massages, non-alcoholic beer, podium prizes, and professional timing.
