Boston Road Runners Shakeout 26 Boston Marathon

Boston Road Runners hosts a race-week shakeout with the Boston Athletic Association and DICK’S House of Sport: an easy, all-paces 5K designed to loosen the legs before Marathon Monday. The morning starts with a meet-up at 7:45 AM, with the run stepping off at 8:15 AM, and runners can also “freestyle” a longer route if they’re not following the 5K plan. Expect a casual, rain-or-shine group vibe with plenty of company for every pace.

Good to know:

• Meet at the DICK’S House of Sport entrance on the Star Market side (760 Boylston St)
• Early arrival is recommended for the 7:45 AM meet-up
• Weather-appropriate gear is smart—this run goes on in the rain
