In 2023, we look forward to returning to DCR Fort Independence at Castle Island to celebrate in person this Veterans Day on November 11th! Come run with the DAV 5K Boston and #FinishInTheFort!
We are thrilled to be back at Fort Independence and cannot wait to see you and all of our DAV 5K Boston friends and family again. 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 team is taking extra care this year to keep you safe, including shipping race kits in advance to all participants.
The DAV 5K Run to Honor Veterans 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 DAV to ensure our injured heroes are not alone on their road to recovery.
