Celebrate Marathon weekend with a kids' race on the historic racetrack, surrounded by ‘Marathon Daffodils’—a symbol of strength and hope that has adorned the streets of Boston since 2013, following the Marathon bombing.

The event features three 50-yard dash races: one for grades K-2, one for grades 3-5, and one for grades 6-8. The races will not be timed, and every participant will receive a bib number and a t-shirt. The races start at 10:30 AM.

Afterward, enjoy the Paddock with food trucks, face painting, flower crowns, and a DJ!

This event is free and open to the public, but runner registration is required. Spaces are limited, so be sure to sign up soon!
