About

DAV 5K Boston takes place at DCR Fort Independence on Castle Island in Boston, Massachusetts, on November 7, 2026. Both events start at 10:00 a.m.: the 5K over 3.1 miles and a one-mile walk. The event is open to participants who want to run, walk or roll, and it is organized with local authorities to keep it safe and family friendly.

Castle Island is coastal ground, so plan for wind off the water in November even if the temperature is mild — a hat and a wind layer you can shed are worth carrying. The 5K needs little build-up, and the one-mile option opens the day to anyone. The race honors veterans and raises awareness of the challenges facing those who were injured, supporting the DAV Department of Massachusetts and its work on veterans' recovery.
