RACE SYNOPSIS: The B.A.A. invites runners to compete in the B.A.A. 10K, which complements its
B.A.A. 5K (established in 2009 and held in the Spring) and its
B.A.A. Half Marathon (established in 2001 and held in the Fall). Participants will receive event t-shirts from adidas, finisher medals, and a pleasurable race day atmosphere at the Boston Common. The roads along the course will close at 7:45 a.m., and begin to re-open on a rolling basis as the last runners pass through. The closures will last no more than two hours.
DISTANCE MEDLEY RELAY: The 2013 B.A.A. 10K is the second event in the
B.A.A. Distance Medley. The first event is the
B.A.A. 5K, which was held the day before the
2013 Boston Marathon. The third and final event is the
B.A.A. Half Marathon on October 13, 2013. Participants in all three races will be listed on a Distance Medley Relay Leaderboard. And the top male and female performer (tallied by the lowest cumulative time across all three events) will be awarded $100,000 each. To learn more about the B.A.A. Distance Medley -
