JOIN US AND RUN WITH BOSTON’S TEAM MARTIN RICHARD FOUNDATION MR8K THIS SATURDAY, 12/4

Fourth Annual Event at Boston Landing; Check-in Begins at 8AM

WHAT: The Martin Richard Foundation, in partnership with the Boston Bruins Foundation, New Balance and DMSE Sports, will host its fourth annual MR8K this Saturday, December 4th expecting over 1,000 runners.

This year, we will again join in person, allowing runners to come together, run a special course and join Boston’s team for Boston causes. All funds raised will benefit the Martin Richard Foundation’s work to support community organizations and fund programs that advance the values of inclusion, kindness, justice and peace. The race will again return to the home of our presenting sponsor, Boston Landing. Registration is still open at http://mr8k.org/ through race day.
