Description

PIONEERS Run Crew (PRC), hosted the inaugural 26.TRUE Marathon in October 2021. It was a truly special event that highlighted neighborhoods throughout the City of Boston and celebrated communities that are often overlooked during marathon weekend. In April 2022 we brought the race back for a second installment and were thrilled to host runners from New York, Houston, and even Berlin! We are so grateful to everyone who has been sharing information about 26.TRUE and are honored to have the event featured in Alison Mariella Désir's Running While Black and Christopher McDougall's Born to Run 2. In 2023 the journey continues. We're excited to be bringing back the energy, vibes, and purpose behind this unique marathon experience. PRC invites you to COME RUN WITH US! on April 15th, 2023, a full marathon (26.2 miles) on a course that was specifically designed to amplify and celebrate the culture and diversity of the neighborhoods that make up the City of Boston. We invite runners of all ages, backgrounds, races, and paces to participate in our one-of-a-kind marathon created to redefine what running in Boston can look and feel like. ----- The course this year will be the same as last year - click the Participant Guide below to see the route! Although this marathon is unsanctioned, we will provide course marshals to help with directions, 10 hydration stops with water approximately every 2.5 miles (4 of which will be cheer zones that will also include electrolytes and fuel), and restrooms along the route. 26.TRUE MARATHON 2023 PARTICIPANT GUIDE (NOTE: Most PDF viewers should work but for best results we recommend using Adobe.)To help you prepare for race day this year we are excited to offer a 15-week training plan with options for 2 levels of training: Beginner Level Training Plan Intermediate Level Training Plan ----- Registration for 26.TRUE Marathon 2023 is $75 and includes: Entry to the marathon with a one-of-a-kind route through the City of Boston A 15-week training plan that starts on January 2nd (beginner and intermediate levels)A 26.TRUE 2023 Marathon T-shirtA 26.TRUE Souvenir BibA 26.TRUE Marathon finisher's medal***26.TRUE Marathon is an unsanctioned route without road closures and although we will have course marshals, cheer zones, and hydration stations along the course, runners will be required to run at their own risk*** Not planning to run 26.TRUE Marathon but want to support and cheer for the participants?
