WE ARE STARTING EARLY. HOPEFULLY YOU'LL HELP US GROW!
This is a FREE Sunday morning shakeout run, starting and finishing from where your busses will load for the trip up to Hopkinton High School the next day.
As it is the morning before the race our journey will be short: just 2.25 miles to the Tommy Leonard Bridge on Mass Ave (the 1K to go underpass) and back. If you care to go further from the start to the Citgo Sign and back would be about 5K.
REGISTER EARLY and you'll receive a THIS IS MY 2026 runBUCKS CrackedBell HOPKINTON to BOSTON THROW AWAY T-SHIRT so that you'll have a shirt to throw away before the race starts!
