Cheer On True 26.2

The Boston Marathon starts in Hopkinton, then winds through suburbs like Wellesley and Newton before finally getting to Boston for the finish line at Copley. But not this marathon.  26.TRUE is a marathon alternative that starts and ends at Malcolm X Park in Roxbury, created and managed by the Pioneers Run Crew.  This marathon is a tour of Boston – the real Boston – that highlights neighborhoods throughout the city and celebrates communities that are often overlooked during the Boston Marathon weekend. “We come together in defiance of history’s divisions to embrace old spaces in new ways and to run a marathon that is more than just a race.”  The 26.2 TRUE kicks off Saturday at 7am! Get all the details here!
