Race Information
The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) 10K is a fundraiser for the Brigham and Womens Hospital (BWH). Runners can show their support for BWH through participation in an iconic race through Boston's beautiful and historic Back Bay. The race starts and finishes at Charles Street adjacent to Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden.
The B.A.A. 10K serves as the 2nd race of the B.A.A. Distance Medley, a three race series that also includes April's B.A.A. 5K and October's B.A.A. Half Marathon. Many of the world's fastest runners participate in the B.A.A. Distance Medley each year.
