Not Your Average Marathon Monday

The Boston Marathon won’t take place this Patriot’s Day weekend but together Boston College Recreation & Wellesley Recreation challenge our students, faculty, staff and alum to walk or run together virtually in our Not Your Average Marathon Monday Virtual 5K! We know we can’t replicate the scream tunnel or the electric feeling of cheering on runners from all over the world but we hope that we can connect our two institutions and generations of Marathon Monday runners and fans through virtual fitness.

Registration: Opens Wednesday, April 7th and closes Monday, April 19th at 12pm EST.  Runners and walkers can participate at any time between Friday, April 16th at 4pm EST and Monday, April 19th at 11:45pm EST. Don’t forget to print and wear your personalized race bib!  

Reporting: After you have completed your 5K (3.1miles) take a picture of your results and enter your finish time on Race Entry. Finishing times are due by Wednesday, April 21st. If you want to participate just for fun, feel free to register and don’t worry about submitting a time. You can also print your own certificate of completion to remember your run. 

Race results and winners: BC Rec and Wellesley Rec will recognize the fastest 5 students, 5 faculty/staff and the alum on social media on Thursday, April 22nd. 

Get Social!: We’d love for you to share a picture of yourself participating!  https://www.facebook.com/BCRecreation/ Tag @wellesleyrecreation on Instagram or @wellesleyrec on Facebook or Twitter and you could be featured.
