Jimmy Fund 5K & Fun Run presented by Bayer

Join friends and family at Millennium Park to benefit the Jimmy Fund

Grab your sneakers and get ready for the 2nd annual Jimmy Fund 5K & Fun Run presented by Bayer, Sunday, July 21, at 10:00 a.m. Choose between the 3.1-mile or the half-mile route in Boston’s scenic Millennium Park, 300 Gardner Street, West Roxbury, followed by a post-race celebration. Runners of all ages and abilities are welcome to join in on the fun! The event benefits the Jimmy Fund and supports cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

“For 70 years, the Jimmy Fund has been hard at work supporting Dana-Farber – one of the nation’s foremost cancer centers – in its work to advance groundbreaking research and ensure patients receive the proper care and treatment they so desperately need,” said Joseph Germino, MD, PhD, Bayer's vice president of Medical Affairs, Oncology. “Bayer shares this commitment to the cancer community, and we welcome the opportunity to unite and raise funds that will help patients in their fight.”
Register as an individual or start a team and train with friends and family for this event. Registration is $35 for adults and children 13 and older, and $15 for children 12 and younger. Fundraising for this event is optional, and all participants will receive an online fundraising page to help them raise money to support their run. Individuals who raise over $100 will receive an official race tech shirt. Race entry includes admission to the post-race party, including live music, complimentary food from Papa Gino’s/D’Angelos, and two Harpoon drink tickets for 21+ participants.
