Esplanade Fall Fest: Run and Walk for the Esplanade!

Celebrate autumn along the Charles River at the Fall Fest 5K: Run &amp; Walk for the Esplanade! Join the Esplanade Association on Sunday, October 25 for a morning of fitness, community, and fall fun while supporting our mission to revitalize, enhance, sustain, and build community in one of Boston’s most treasured public spaces. Whether you’re racing the professionally timed 5K or enjoying our 1.5-mile community walk, there’s a place for everyone. The walk welcomes participants of all ages and abilities – including families, dog lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy the beautiful fall scenery on the Esplanade’s shared-use public pathways. The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Stick around for Fall Fest, featuring family-friendly activities, local community partners, food, music, giveaways, seasonal fun, and, NEW this year, the Paws &amp; Pumpkins Parade, where four-legged friends can join in the celebration! Whether you’re running, walking, cheering on participants, or simply enjoying the festivities, you’ll be helping support the Esplanade Association’s free programs, events, and year-round care of Boston’s iconic waterfront park. Registration is limited, so gather your friends, family, coworkers, and even your pup(s) and join us for a memorable day!
