 5K & 10K Running Races: Chip-timed, flat, fast 5K course.
The Marathon Sports Super Sunday 5K/10K race offers you a spectacular tour of Boston's growing Seaport district with amazing waterfront views of the city and harbor. You'll run one or two laps of a flat, fast 5K(3.1 miles) loop before enjoying our popular post-race party sponsored by Legal Sea Foods, Harpoon Brewery, Mix 104.1 and other race sponsors.
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. This race is the first event in the 2010 Run Against Cancer Events Series. All proceeds from the Super Sunday 5K/10K benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation... we expect to donate at least $20,000 this year!

Unite to fight cancer.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. The LAF believes that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.
