Rally for Research
The Rally for Research is a charity 5k in Jamaica Plain on May 2, 2026, organized by the Harvard Tech and Global Health Initiative. Entry fees and donations are designated for the American Association for Cancer Research, Mass General Cancer Center, and Christopher’s Haven Boston.
Check-in is located at Jamaica Pond near the boathouse. Final call and pre-race acknowledgements occur before the race and an awards presentation takes place after the finish. Information about volunteering is available on the event page.
The course starts 0.1 miles north of the boathouse and follows two clockwise laps around Jamaica Pond on the park path. The finish is next to the boathouse. The route uses a shared path and participants should give way to other park users.
The start area is accessible by bike and on foot via the Emerald Necklace path. Public transit and several nearby parking options provide pedestrian access to the site.
