Boston — DMSE Sports’ Merry-Thon has kicked off its 26-day streaker challenge of fitness and holiday spirit. The Merry-Thon promises to keep participants moving, even as the weather gets colder, and to spread a bit of holiday joy, even in the midst of a pandemic. For each day over the course of 26 days, participants are asked to complete at least one mile of movement by whatever means the participant chooses, and to complete one act of kindness.

Each August, in normal times, about 13,000 people run seven miles up the Massachusetts coastline as part of the Falmouth Road Race. To kick off this year’s event, my wife held a watch in the air and yelled, “Go!” I took off running down a narrow trail where we live—in Munich.

Virtual events, in this day and age, are a little bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s a constant reminder of all our favorite events that have been canceled—some, for the first time in their history, like the Boston Marathon. And on the other hand, the widespread accessibility to the internet has allowed everyone across the world to come together and participate in events they couldn’t have attended in person, like the Head of the Charles Regatta and a vast list of virtual workouts.

Amid your rhythmic footfalls, Falmouth Road Race landmarks come and go. The Nobska lighthouse. The flat miles along the Vineyard Sound. The loop around the inner harbor. You check your watch at each mile marker. Right on pace. As the beachside finish nears, the crowds grow larger and louder. You sprint beneath a giant American flag, cross the line 150 yards later, and find a bank of photographers clicking away. Then, with the satisfaction of a race well run, you step off your treadmill.
