Register today to $AVE! 

Run ONE: (includes custom race bib + Super Sunday Zoom Party + St. Patrick's Day Zoom Party)
This entry includes unlimited races in any ONE of the seven Super Sunday distances between Feb. 7th and Mar. 17th. You don't even need to decide which distance you're racing until you're finished running it! Let's say you start your 5 mile race but don't feel so good after a couple of miles. You can stop at 3.11 miles and submit a 5K race result instead. Or you can finish the 5 miles, submit your (slower than expected) 5M result, and then try again in a few days. Once you've submitted a result on a "Run One" entry, that race distance will be the only distance you can submit again, but you can race it over and over again to improve your time as often as you want until Mar. 17th!

Run SOME/ALL: (includes everything above + winter hat + 4-pack of Mighty Squirrel's Special Release Super Sunday Double New England IPA)
Your entry fee includes unlimited races in some or ALL of the seven Super Sunday distances between Feb. 7th and Mar. 17th. You don't even need to decide which distance you're racing until you're finished running! Let's say you start your 5 mile race but don't feel so good after a couple of miles. You can stop at 3.11 miles and submit a 5K race result instead. Or you can finish the 5 miles, submit your (slower than expected) 5M result, and then try racing it again in a few days. You can race over and over again to improve any race time as often as you want until Mar. 17th!

ALL ENTRIES INCLUDE FREE VIRTUAL PARTY TICKETS:
Feb 7th - Super Bowl Watch Party (Zoom)
Mar 17th - Awards & St. Patrick's Day Party (Zoom)

Super Sunday 2021: a different kind of virtual race
By now, we assume you're familiar with the virtual race concept. They've been around for years and obviously got more popular during the pandemic. We've been doing virtual run/walk challenges for years, but we'd never done an actual race. For Super Sunday 2021, we've dreamed up a different kind of virtual race concept. Why limit it to just one distance, or one attempt, or one day or week? With the help of RaceMenu's technology, we can offer you the option to run one, some, or all seven race distances as often as you'd like between Feb. 7th and Mar. 17th. On top of that, you don't even need to decide the race distance in advance. You decide the distance when you decide to stop the watch.

Races can be run as often as you'd like, in any order, at any location, at any time, on any day between 10:00AM Sunday February 7th and 2:00PM Wednesday March 17th.

No need to run with your phone! Results are logged in the Raceday Pulse app. All your race results will be saved, and your fastest time for each distance counts for that race's leaderboard. If you run with a Garmin device, your result(s) can be imported automatically via Garmin Connect*. Otherwise, you input results manually. We encourage you to upload a photo of your tracking app or watch with your result(s), but it is not mandatory.

Mighty Runner presented by Mighty Squirrel
Anyone who completes all seven race distances will have their cumulative time displayed on the Mighty Runner leaderboard. We will have awards for people on this leaderboard, and while ranked by overall time, our awards will be geared towards runners who get on it soonest or in the most creative manner, regardless of speed. We'll have more to say on this topic once the competition is under way!

Race Distance Conversions
1K = .62 miles
1M = 1.61 km
5K = 3.11 miles
5M = 8.05 km
10K = 6.21 miles
10M = 16.09 km
Half Marathon = 13.11 miles or 21.1 km

*Importing via Garmin Connect
Results are imported after syncing Raceday to your Garmin Connect account. Your run must be saved in Garmin with a distance between the race distance +.1 mile. For example, if you're running the 5K race, the distance on your Garmin device must be between 3.11 and 3.21 miles. If your distance is 3.10 miles or 3.22 miles, it will not be imported. If you're running the 5K, 10K, or half and your device displays mileage but does not show two decimal places, we recommend running ~250 feet past the point where your device displays 3.1 for a 5K, 6.2 for a 10K, or 13.1 for a half to ensure you reach the required distance for it to be imported automatically. Don't stress about it though, you can still submit the result manually.

One race per run--no double-counting!
Only one result per run counts. You can use your time at the 5K mark during your 5 mile run for the 5K race, but then you can't also use that run for your 5M race result. Although you can run the 5K and 5M back to back as long as you run at least 8.11 miles!

 

 

SWAG 
Everyone gets a personalized race bib with their entry. Sign up for the "Run SOME/ALL" option and you'll also get our super warm and comfy fleece lined winter hat and a 4-pack of Mighty Squirrel's Runner's High, a special release New England Double IPA. (or an 8-pack of BODYARMOR sports drink)

NOTE: Bibs, hats, shirts, and beverages can be picked up at at Mighty Squirrel Brewery in Waltham Feb. 5th, 6th, and 10th. (see Schedule section) After that, everything will be mailed, but beverages will not be mailed. Hoodies will be ready by early March and shipped, but we may have an earlier pick-up at Mighty Squirrel.
Please do not contact Mighty Squirrel asking if you can pick up your beer at other times. Doing so will result in a DQ and your beer will be donated into the raffle.

RunONE: Once you submit your first result for a particular race distance, that distance will be the only one you can select for the remainder of the event until March 17th. You can submit unlimited results for that distance only, and your fastest result will display in the "Best Result" section and on the leaderboard for that distance.

Run SOME/ALL: You may submit a result for any or all of the seven race distances until March 17th. You can submit unlimited results for any race distance, and your fastest result will display in the "Best Result" section and on the leaderboard for that distance.

After submitting a result, you can edit any field except the distance. You can also delete the entire result.

For 2020, our course has been changed due to construction on Rogers Street. The new course starts and finishes from exactly the same spot, on Athenaeum. This year, you'll start running east towards First, then left/north to Binney, left/west to Third, then left/south to Broadway. After turning right/west on Broadway, you'll turn right/east on Cambridge, then right/south on First. Then it's just one right turn onto Athenaeum and back to the start/finish line.

View the 2020 5M course here.

Thanks for your interest, but we will not need any volunteers for this year's Super Sunday race.

Super Sunday is made possible each year thanks to the help of over 100 wonderful volunteers. If you're participating as a runner, please thank them! If you're volunteering, we appreciate your support!

All volunteers get free admission into the after-party, free food, and two drink tickets. As a volunteer, you'll assist with number pickup, venue setup, registration, bag check, water stops, marshaling, food and beverage service, awards, and cleanup.

Please sign up to volunteer here.

Volunteers will be sent an email with instructions 1-2 days before their volunteer shift.
