2026 Boston Events powered by Nike Running

In 1966, Bobbi Gibb was told her body wasn't built for the marathon. She responded by hiding in the bushes of Hopkinton, wearing her brother’s shorts and a hoodie, and waiting for the pack to move. When she stepped onto the road, she trusted her own power even when the path wasn't made for her yet.

Twenty-six point two miles later, she proved that purpose doesn't need permission.

Sixty years later for Boston 2026, we're celebrating with the same defiant spirit: purpose not permission. We're taking this on together. Heartbreak and Nike Running have got you covered with Locals Night, Heartbreak Honors, a street fair, and of course, the most epic shakeout run featuring Nike global legends and current stars. Come Monday, we race, we cheer, and we party!
