In 2024, we look forward to returning to DCR Fort Independence at Castle Island to celebrate Veterans Day Weekend together on November 9! Race with us on one of the "fastest and flattest" race courses and stay for our famous "post-race feast" at the DAV 5K Boston. #VetsRunBoston
We are thrilled to be back at DCR Fort Independence at Castle Island and cannot wait to see you and all of our DAV 5K Boston friends and family. The DAV 5K Boston race committee is working with our municipal partners at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the 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. To continue showing your supporting, please consider making a donation to the DAV Department of Massachusetts. The DAV helps more than one million veterans each year in positive, life-changing ways, at no cost to them. From the Berkshires to Provincetown, the DAV Department of Massachusetts supports our local veterans everyday with their programs and services.
