About this race
Boston's Run To Remember is a road-race event held on Memorial Day weekend, featuring a half marathon and a 5-mile race. The race honors fallen law enforcement officers and first responders; its memorial purpose is central to the day.
The event includes several first-responder-focused features surrounding the races, such as a Uniform Tribute, a broader 1st Responder Tribute, an Emergency Vehicle Display, and a 1st Responder Challenge. Participants share the event with police, fire, EMS, and other public-safety personnel, giving it a distinct character compared to a standard city road race.
