The Boston Spring/Summer Series is made possible each year thanks to the help of our wonderful volunteers. We greatly appreciate your support! As a volunteer, you'll assist with number pickup, venue setup, registration, bag check, water stops, marshaling, medals/awards, and cleanup. The Race: One of eight 5K Thursday evening runs from April through September to kick cancer's butt. Races on 4/30, 5/21, 6/4 and 6/18 start with a Women's 5K, followed by the open 5K. Everyone races together in the final four races of the series. All races are held at the American Legion Marsh Post #442 in Cambridge, MA, and run on paths along the Charles River. Each event will include a post-race party at the Marsh Post with beer generously provided by Mighty Squirrel. 100% of the event proceeds go to charity, including a portion to the American Legion Marsh Post. RACE Cancer Foundation’s Boston 5K Summer Series also provides funding for the Sunscreen Squad, bringing free sunscreen to outdoor events across Massachusetts.
