About the Event

Experience the true heartbeat of Boston at the 26.TRUE Marathon & Half Marathon on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

This groundbreaking event, now in its sixth year, proudly offers the only half and full marathon courses run entirely within the city limits of Boston, amplifying its diverse neighborhoods and culture.

Following a historic 13.1-mile loop through Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and Mattapan, runners will embrace the city's true spirit in defiance of traditional divisions.

Your registration includes a custom finisher's jacket, a substantial medal, and access to a vibrant Post-Run Block Party, celebrating a profoundly authentic Boston running experience.

As an unsanctioned, community-powered event organized by PIONEERS Run Crew, it runs on passion rather than permits, offering a raw, genuine, and unforgettable alternative to traditional road races.

With both distances sold out and waitlists open, securing a spot in this iconic run is a coveted achievement for those seeking to run "Our City. Our Way."

Prepare for a race where every mile tells a story of resilience, community, and the unbreakable spirit of Boston's often-overlooked streets.

Lace up for 26.TRUE—where the route is more than pavement; it's a declaration of pride and a powerful reclamation of the city's narrative.

About Boston

A city of history and tradition, Boston offers a proud legacy of culture, education, and numerous sporting championships. The "shining city on a hill"s independent spirit has been displayed to the world ever since colonists were angry over a British tax on their beloved tea and dumped shiploads of it into the harbor in protest.
