Runners gather for the 26.TRUE Marathon and Half Marathon

On Saturday April 18, 2026, runners and volunteers gathered for the start of the 26.TRUE Marathon and Half Marathon at Malcolm X Park in Roxbury, MA.

The event is organized by the PIONEERS Run Crew:

"The 26.TRUE Marathon & Half Marathon are specifically designed to amplify and celebrate the culture and diversity that make up the City of Boston. The route takes runners right through the heart of the city so that they can feel the pulse. It highlights neighborhoods and uplifts communities that are often overlooked during the Boston marathon weekend. We invite you to join us as we come together in defiance of history’s divisions, to embrace old spaces in new ways, and to run a half and full marathon that is so much more than just a race."
