SUMMARY:BAA Half Marathon (Boston Half)
DESCRIPTION:The B.A.A. Half Marathon\, officially known as the Boston Half\, is a premier road race that takes participants through the scenic Emerald Necklace park system every November. \nCourse Highlights\nThe Boston Half features a picturesque out-and-back course that showcases the natural beauty of Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace park system. Starting and ending at the historic Franklin Park\, runners embark on a journey through some of the city’s most scenic green spaces. The route takes participants along the winding paths of the Arnold Arboretum\, past the serene waters of Jamaica Pond\, and through the lush landscapes of the Riverway and Olmsted Park. This course is known for its rolling hills and shaded stretches\, providing a refreshing and visually stunning environment for athletes. The final mile brings runners back into Franklin Park\, finishing with a triumphant lap around the White Stadium track area\, where cheering crowds and the iconic unicorn medal await. \nRace Details\nOrganized by the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.)\, the Boston Half is a premier event held annually in the autumn. The next race is scheduled for Sunday\, November 8\, 2026\, with an official start time of 08:00 AM.

Participants can expect a world-class racing experience\, featuring professional fields with global stars\, comprehensive medical support\, and well-stocked hydration stations offering water and Gatorade Endurance Formula. As the final leg of the B.A.A. Distance Medley—which also includes the Boston 5K and B.A.A. 10K—the Half Marathon represents the pinnacle of the series for many local and international runners. \nWhy Runners Love It\nRunners are drawn to the Boston Half for its perfect blend of athletic challenge and community spirit.
