26 miles is a long way to run, which is why there are now half marathons. But 13 miles is still borderline crazy. Even 6.5 miles, or 3, or 1.5 is asking a lot.


Ergo this manageable, 0.826 mile.


Join us for Boston’s 2nd Annual Half Half Half Half Half Marathon, benefitting 826 Boston in their mission to raise $30,000 to support student writing and publishing in Boston.


When you register for the run and give $25 or more, you'll get a race bib and lots of karma points. You can also start or join a fundraising team! Teams and individuals who raise the most funds are eligible to win prizes.


Join us for the after-party at Papagayo Restaurant (18+). Cost of ticket includes (almost) unlimited appetizers and one free drink.


All proceeds go to support 826 Boston's free writing and publishing programs. Register here: https://give.826boston.org/halfx5
