Race Information
The DAV 5K Boston is held at DCR Fort Independence on Castle Island to celebrate Veterans Day weekend! Race at one of the "fastest and flattest" race courses and stay for the famous "post-race feast" in South Boston. #VetsRunBoston
The DAV 5K Boston race committee is working with their municipal partners at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, DCR, State Police and the City of Boston to ensure a safe and responsible family-friendly event experience. The DAV 5K Boston is a run, walk or roll that thanks those who served and raises awareness of the issues our ill and injured veterans face every day. This event helps further the mission of the DAV Department of Massachusetts to ensure that injured heroes are not alone on their road to recovery.
