Presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund and showcasing Boston and Brookline’s Emerald Necklace park system, the seventh annual B.A.A. Half Marathon will be held on October 7th.
Online registration for the event begins … RIGHT NOW (July 18th at 9:00am EST) … so hurry up and reserve your spot by visiting: bostonmarathon.org/HalfMarathon/Registration.asp
The registration fee is $45, the field is limited to 45,000 runners and the race also offers $30,000 in prize money to be shared among the elite field.
The B.A.A. explains: The 13.1-mile, rolling course features a combined loop and out-and-back route, beginning and ending at Roberto Clemente Field in the Back Bay Fens neighborhood of Boston (also known as the Fenway). With a start on Park Drive adjacent to Roberto Clemente Field, the course proceeds through the Riverway and over Route 9 into Brookline. The course then passes Jamaica Pond and the Arborway on its way to Franklin Park, with a turnaround in the Franklin Park Zoo. Returning from Franklin Park, the course follows the Arborway to the Jamaicaway to the Riverway before finishing back in the Fenway neighborhood at Roberto Clemente Field.
A portion of each participant’s entry fee is also donated to the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and is directed toward the enhancement and maintenance of the park system.
