Zappos Boston Marathon Shakeout Run
The event is a community-focused shakeout run held during Boston Marathon weekend. It is presented as a relaxed, easy-paced group run that keeps participants together and aims to help legs feel ready for Marathon Monday.
Participants meet at the carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. The planned route goes through the North End and into Paul Revere Park for a brief stop or stretch before returning to the start. The distance listed for the run is 3 miles.
The run is described as conversational in pace and controlled in distance, with the group staying together throughout. Organizers note that the purpose is to provide light movement and shared energy rather than speed or effort that would affect race day preparedness.
Additional event details include free registration with registration opening on March 25, 2026 and closing on April 19, 2026, and that demo shoes from multiple brands will be available. The event also includes giveaways and chances to win prizes. The location address is 191 Atlantic Ave, Boston, MA 02111. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
