-- PRE-REG ONLY // NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION --

Super Sunday is a giant Super Bowl pre-partywhich starts with a running race. Actually, we start with two races: a 5-miler and a 5K. After the race, we have a party with hot food, cold beer, and live music. The three largest teams get to share two Bustonians with pizzas and a private stash of beverages for the after-party.

The 5-Mile race includes a $5,510 cash purse and pays 10-deep! We also have a 5K, and for those not into running, party tickets can be purchased separately for $20, or purchased at a discount during the race registration process, or you can get in FOR FREE by volunteering during the race.

Overview

After Party

Course Map

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.
