ESPLANADE 5K SUNSET RUN to benefit the Esplanade Association
Racers invited to run with their canine companions
The Charles River Esplanade will be the place to be for athletic feats and doggie treats at the Esplanade 5K Sunset Run on Thursday evening, May 18, 2017 at 6:30pm. Presented by the Esplanade Association, the 100% privately funded friends group for the Charles River Esplanade, the 5K race (3.2 miles) will be open to runners of all abilities and include prizes, giveaways, refreshments, and more. Rain or shine, it will start and end at Fiedler Field and loop along the Boston side of the Charles River Esplanade, allowing runners to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the park at sunset with their friends, families and canine companions. This is one of the few races in the Boston area that participants are invited to run with their dogs. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Esplanade Association’s work to care for the park and to restore the Lotta Fountain – a destination for park dogs and owners. The race will be limited to 300 participants so those interested are encouraged to register early at racemenu.com/Esplanade5K. The $50 registration fee includes a race t-shirt.
