In Loving Memory of Nuno Loureiro - Community 10K Run On September 2026, we gather along the Boston Esplanade to run in memory of Nuno Loureiro - husband, father, physicist, MIT professor, director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, and one of the most brilliant people any of us have known. Among many things, Nuno was also a runner. With his unique capability to combine rigor with humor, intellectual conversation with infectious laughter, he was a Sunday morning, not-too-early, let's-run-a-10K-in-under-45-minutes type of runner. This is a community-run - no timing chips, no pressure. Cherishing the simple things in life, like being along the river on a September Sunday morning. Of course, if you are a Nunoer, you can have a lengthy conversation with another runner or try to make it in sub-45 minutes. The route follows the Esplanade with no street crossings, starting and finishing at [location TBD]. It's open to all paces and abilities. Registration is $20. After covering any event costs, all proceeds will be donated to Nuno's family. If you'd like to give beyond the registration fee, his family's GoFundMe is here: gofundme.com/f/in-loving-memory-of-nuno-loureiro-supporting-his-family Space is limited. Register early. For Nuno. For his girls (wife & daughters). For Friendship.
