This marathon supports 826 Boston's writing, tutoring, and publishing programs that are offered FREE to more than 3,000 Boston students and their families.
Join the fun in a few easy steps:
Win prizes for fastest racer, highest fundraiser, best finish line pose, best costume, and more!
Why is it called the Half Half Half Half Half Marathon? When you divide a marathon in half, and then in half again, and then in half again, and then in half again, and then in half just one more time, you'll get just a bit shy of 0.826 miles. Go ahead, check it.
826 Boston is a nonprofit writing, tutoring, and publishing organization where students in grades K-12 and beyond can share their stories, amplify their voices, and develop as leaders in school and in life.
This event is sponsored by BookBub, Tres Gatos, Brookline Booksmith, Amy Light of the Muncey Real Estate Group, Trillium Brewing, Ellen & Janis Real Estate Team, Digital Dental Studio by Anna Vishart, and Papercuts Bookshop.
