This race is held the same Sunday as the Southie St. Patrick’s Day Parade, following parts of its route. Most of the race is positioned on East and West Broadway; with the turnaround at Farragut Statue, at Pleasure Bay/Boston Harbor. Stick around for the parade at 11:30 a.m.
This is a 100% charity race, volunteer-run, with all proceeds benefitting teen programming at Edgerley Family South Boston Boys & Girls Club.
