Boston's Run To Remember takes place every Memorial Day Weekend — and the 2026 edition is set for Sunday May 24 at the Seaport World Trade Center. Hosted by the Boston Police Department and Boston Police Runner's Club, this is the only race to run through the historic streets of downtown Boston. Every mile honors the men and women of the First Responder community who gave their lives in the line of duty. Between 5,000 and 10,000 runners take to the streets each year for two distances: a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) winding through Seaport, Government Center, Faneuil Hall, Boston Common and along the Charles River past MIT and Harvard, and a 5-Mile (8K) through downtown's most iconic streets. Net proceeds benefit community and kids programs of the Boston Police Runner's Club.
« From the Seaport's waterfront to the gold dome of the State House, across Faneuil Hall marketplace and along the Charles River with Harvard and MIT as backdrop — Boston's Run To Remember is 13.1 miles of American history, run in honor of those who gave everything to serve their communities. »
