Boston AAPI 5K

The AAPI 5K is a road race to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It takes place on May 15 at Carson Beach Picnic Area in South Boston and will go on rain or shine. The event is organized by AAPI 5K.

The event aims to create a safe and welcoming space for AAPI runners and walkers, raise funds and awareness for AAPI nonprofit organizations, and support AAPI small businesses. The program includes pre-race stretching and a group photo followed by a community run or walk.

There are two entry options for the 5K: a Walk Pass and a Run Pass. Teams are eligible for prizes; the fastest teams will win Cha Siu Baos (2 Women and 2 Men). A costume challenge invites participants to run or walk the 5K in costume, with bonus points for Anime characters.

There is no race day bib pickup. Bib pickup is available in advance on May 13, 14, and 15 at DICK'S House of Sport, 760 Boylston St, Boston. Friends or family members may pick up bibs on behalf of participants. The event notes a specific pickup slot on Friday, May 15 from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
