Boston 10K for Women

The Boston 10K for Women takes place on October 9, 2027, in Boston, Massachusetts. The women-only 10K (6.2 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m., followed by a 1 km kids' fun run at 10:30 a.m. Held since 1977, the race brings together women of all ages and abilities around health, physical activity and neighborhood life.

The 10K holds a special place in a racing season: long enough to demand real endurance work, short enough to prepare for in eight weeks. A simple plan alternates a one-hour long run, a threshold session such as two 15-minute blocks at a strong pace, and an easy run. The 9:00 a.m. start leaves time to warm up without a dawn alarm, and the 90-minute gap before the kids' race lets mothers run and then accompany their children to the start line.
