Stay tuned for news about an exciting new race on Father's Day as well as details about the Run Against Cancer race series, which will unite New England runners in a very meaningful way. Until then, we have a brand new Apple iPod Nano (4gb) and Nike + Sport Kit for the first person to donate at least $200 directly to Livestrong.

5K & 10K Running Races: Chip-timed, USATF sanctioned, certification pending.
The Marathon Sports Super Sunday 5K/10K race offers runners a spectacular tour of Boston's growing Seaport district with amazing waterfront views of the city and harbor. The event starts and finishes at Legal Sea Foods' corporate headquarters, passing Harpoon Brewery, the Bank of America Pavillion and the Seaport World Trade Center. Runners will run through Fan Pier, passing the new ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) before turning at the beautiful Moakley Federal Courthouse. Next comes a jaunt along the Harborwalk... where stunning panoramic views of downtown Boston's waterfront will rejuvenate runners before the final mile of the race.
One lap of the course is 5km (3.1 miles) long; 10k runners will start at the same time but complete two laps of the course. Runners pass the water station twice per lap on Northern Ave. near the ICA.
The Super Sunday 5K/10K race began in 2008, inspired by a beloved mother's battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She passed away seven weeks later, but her memory lives on through our race which will raise thousands of dollars for charity. The 2009 Marathon Sports Super Sunday 5K/10K will help the Lance Armstrong Foundation in their battle against cancer.
