Schedule

9:00 AM: Gather at Upper Campus, 57 Holton Street, and pick up your T-shirt
9:15 AM: Warm-Up with Silvia & Bruno
9:30 AM: Race begins for runners
9:40 AM: Race begins for walkers
Post-Race: Enjoy refreshments, snacks, and recognition at the finish line!

The 2.6mi (4.2km) long route will take you on a scenic journey starting from the GISB Upper Campus, guiding you along the Charles River and Grove Street before we merge into the Greenway to reach our destination: the new GISB campus at 46 Belmont Street, Watertown. It may not be the shortest path, but it’s certainly the safest and most enjoyable for our runners and walkers alike.

The route will be clearly marked, with signs guiding your way at every turn. We’ll also have staff stationed along the path, and at key intersections, police officers will be on hand to ensure safe crossings.

So come and join us! Let’s make this a day to remember as we run, walk, and celebrate together. Your enthusiasm and support will help make this event truly special!

Returning to Upper Campus

If you parked your car at the Upper Campus (57 Holton St), you'll need to head back to pick it up. While walking or running is an option, you can also take a bus, which will get you there in about 25 minutes.

To return by bus, start by taking the 73 bus from the stop in front of our building at 46 Belmont Street. Stay on the bus until you reach Harvard Square (get off at Mount Auburn @ University Road). From there, it's just a 1-minute walk to Elliot St @ Bennett St, where you can catch the 86 bus towards Western Ave @ Everett St. After arriving, it's only a 3-minute walk back to 57 Holton Street, bringing you to the Upper Campus.
