Join us for the fifth annual Marathon Daffodil Dash on Saturday, April 18th from 10am – 1pm at The Track at Suffolk Downs. Celebrate Marathon weekend in the city with a kids race on the historic racetrack! The Track will be filled with ‘Marathon Daffodils’ that line the streets of Boston leading up to the Boston Marathon finish line. The Marathon Daffodils project began in 2013 after the Marathon bombing as the yellow daffodil symbolizes strength and hope. We are proud to be part of the 13th anniversary of celebrating strength and hope across our city.
There will be three 50-yard dash races for grades K-2, grades 3-5, and grades 6-8. The races will not be timed, and all participants will receive a bib number and t-shirt. The races will begin at 10:30am.
After the race, hang out in the Paddock with food trucks, face painting, and a DJ!
This event is free to attend and open to the public. Spots are limited and RUNNER REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
