The Team Hoyt Memorial Yes You Can Run Together

FEATURING 3 EVENTS:

Team Hoyt Taper - 5 Mile Run perfectly timed to meet the needs of runners as they taper down one week before the Boston Marathon. We run 5 miles to honor the same distance of the first race Dick & Rick ran together. Running past the iconic "Yes You Can" statue next to Hopkinton Common.

Team Hoyt Two Step - 2 Mile Walk to show that "two-gether" we can all participate. Walk to the iconic "Yes You Can" statue and back to the world famous after party.

Team Hoyt Tot Trot - Kids Race Just before the awards ceremony. Watch our future stars of running as they take the field across from the finish line.
