The sweetest holiday running tradition is back!
Join Marathon Sports and Brooks on Thursday, December 17 at 6:30 PM as we bring back our beloved Gingerbread Run!
We're bringing together runners from Wellesley, Brookline, and Boston for a festive evening of running, community, and holiday cheer.
Our Wellesley crew will head to Brookline, where runners will take off alongside a second group starting from our Boston store. Both groups will meet in Kenmore Square before finishing the run together at Marathon Sports Boston!
Break out your ugliest holiday sweater! After the run, we'll keep the festivities going with a judged ugly sweater contest, holiday games, and plenty of chances to win prizes.
What to Expect
- Festive Community Run: Two starting locations, one big holiday finish!
- Ugly Sweater Contest: Show off your most festive (or outrageous!) holiday sweater.
- Holiday Games & Prizes: Stick around after the run for some friendly competition and giveaways.
- Community & Holiday Cheer: Celebrate the season with Brooks, Marathon Sports, and your favorite running friends.
All paces are welcome, and festive attire is highly encouraged!
Grab your ugly sweater, lace up, and join us for a holiday tradition that's as sweet as gingerbread!
