Boston Mini-Marathon & Festival
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026
Location: 118 E Jefferson St. Boston, GA 31626 US
The Boston Mini Marathon and 5K races are certified and professionally timed. They start in downtown Boston, wind through our farm land community and out into the fresh October country air. The entire route is paved, lined with refreshment stands every 2.5 miles and porta-potties at miles 2, 5, 7, and 11. The rolling hills are not extreme, though the final stretch can be a nice uphill challenge. At the finish line are healthy eats and drinks for each participant designed to speed your recovery. After that, roam around the downtown area and enjoy the festival of food, drinks and family-style southern hospitality!
Packet Pickup: Day before race (6:30-8:30 PM) and race day (6:30-7:30 AM) at Boston Community Center, 112 N Main Street, Boston, GA 31626.
Race Start Location: 118 E Jefferson Street.
