Sole Train 5K at Moakley Park
The Sole Train 5K is the 12th annual community run held at Moakley Park on Columbia Road in Boston, MA on October 3, 2026. The event includes pre-race check-in and bib pickup with light breakfast, a brief program and warm-up before the run, and a post-run celebration with lunch, music, lawn games, crafts, and other family-friendly activities.
Course and on-course services are described: a water stop is located near the 1.5 mile mark, and two porta-potties will be available at the picnic area. Participants may leave bags at the registration tent; items will not be locked and are not the responsibility of the organizers if lost or stolen.
Transportation and parking notes state that the picnic area is near public transit and bike access. The MBTA Red Line is about 0.3 mile from the JFK/UMass stop and several bus routes stop close to Moakley Park. Bicycle stations are available nearby. Parking at the park is very limited; small lots with accessible spaces exist near Saunders Stadium and Carson Beach, and there is limited curbside parking along Columbia Road.
The event supports fundraising for Trinity Boston Connects; fundraising progress is listed with $9,292.61 raised toward a $40,000 goal. Registration options and rates are provided for the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
