Join REACH GREEN and Tree Boston for our first partner event in Boston! REACH GREEN (reachgreen.org) is a Boston-based nonprofit focused on connecting participatory and endurance athletes with green space protection. We channel people’s passion for sport into tangible environmental impact by enabling them to do what they already love, running, cycling or walking, while raising funds for green space preservation, restoration, and creation. Tree Boston (treeboston.org) is an organization dedicated to expanding Boston’s urban tree canopy in under-resourced communities through tree planting, tree care, and education. Together, we are inviting you to join us for a stair climbing challenge at the Harvard Stadium (37 sections, 1,147 steps) where every step you climb will lead to trees and tree care in Boston. Before the climb, participants will collect donation pledges from friends, family, and other supporters. Donations can be a one-time amount or based on the number of stadium sections completed (for example, $1 per section would equal $37 for the full climb). Funds raised will support Tree Boston and their work to protect and expand accessible green spaces in Boston. Keep scrolling to learn how to register as well as specific details about the event (go past the 'Challenge Date' section).

The 37th Canton Fall Classic After 36 years our beloved classic 10k course needed to be retired. There have been many changes in the town over the race history that make the course too challenging for the police to feel comfortable with everyone’s safety. We do believe that Canton is a beautiful town and our alternative course will still prove both scenic and challenging. We feel we also do our best to make runners feel welcome and have a great record of providing accurate courses, times, great awards, high quality t-shirts and a vibrant post race scene. ​ We are fortunate to have a large pool of repeat runners. We are hoping that will continue in future years. Featuring new 5k and 10k courses Temple Loop - 5K & 10K Start/Finish: 1301 Washington St, Canton, MA ​ The 5K and 10K start simultaneously in front of the temple and take a right on Pleasant St. There are some elevation variations in the first couple of miles of the course, but none too challenging. The course takes a right on Sherman St. which is slightly downhill. The next right onto Washington St. features a significant hill sure to tax athletes as they approach either the finish or the start of the second loop. The 10K course passes the temple and follows the same route.

Join REACH GREEN for our first fundraising event in Boston! REACH GREEN (reachgreen.org) is a Boston-based nonprofit focused on connecting participatory and endurance athletes with green space protection. We channel people’s passion for sport into tangible environmental impact by enabling them to do what they already love, running, cycling or walking, while raising funds for green space preservation, restoration, and creation. For our first fundraising event, we are challenging participants to climb the Harvard Stadium stairs (37 sections, 1,147 steps). To participate, choose a day to complete the climb and find people to join you to commit to the challenge together! Dates will be offered throughout the fall. Before the climb, participants will collect donation pledges from friends, family, and other supporters. Donations can be a one-time amount or based on the number of stadium sections completed (for example, $1 per section would equal $37 for the full climb). Funds raised will support local environmental organizations in the Boston area and their work to protect and expand accessible green spaces. For example, one of our beneficiaries is Tree Boston (treeboston.org), an organization dedicated to expanding Boston’s urban tree canopy in under-resourced communities through tree planting, tree care, and education. Keep scrolling to learn how to register as well as specific details about the event (go past the 'Challenge Dates' section).
