(All images by Frances Ramirez/@franipac) The 26.TRUE Marathon & Half Marathon are specifically designed to amplify and celebrate the culture and diversity that make up the City of Boston. The route takes runners right through the heart of the city so that they can feel the pulse. It highlights neighborhoods and uplifts communities that are often overlooked during the Boston marathon weekend. We invite you to join us as we come together in defiance of history’s divisions, to embrace old spaces in new ways, and to run a half and full marathon that is so much more than just a race. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP! CLICK HERE FOR HALF & FULL TRAINING PLANS Year 6 The iron anniversary. A time to reflect on strength and resilience. 26.TRUE has taken on new meaning each and every time we have come together to run it over the past 5 years. Last year we organized the first-ever full marathon that has been run entirely within Boston's city limits. This year we are leaning into that

evolution as we host the only half marathon currently run entirely within Boston's city limits. We are excited to have you join us in April to keep pushing forward as we continue to run... Our City. Our Way. CLICK HERE FOR STRAVA ROUTE MAP Complete once for half marathon Complete twice for full marathon THE ROUTE We're running it back with the same route from last year. A 13.1 mile loop that will take runners through Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and into Mattapan. One loop for the half marathon, two loops for the full. Runners start in Malcolm X Park and quickly enter Franklin Park, the city's largest green space, before exiting into Jamaica Plain. Runners will travel along the beautiful SW Corridor Park until Roxbury Crossing where they will pass the storied Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center and continue into historic Nubian Square. Warren St will connect the route to Blue Hill Avenue and a loop around Harambee Park will take runners right by Dorchester Center. The southern tip

of the course takes a quick dip into Mattapan before returning to Franklin Park and back to the start/finish line. 26.TRUE Marathon is an open-course route without road closures and although we will have course marshals, cheer zones, and hydration stations along the course, runners will be required to run at their own risk RUNNER REGISTRATION INCLUDES Entry to our Marathon or Half Marathon with a one-of-a-kind route through the heart of The City of Boston A training plan designed by local certified run coaches (Beginner and Intermediate levels) - COMING SOON!
