Don't Forget Your Bib Number!

All international entrants (and anyone who hasn't yet received their bib in the mail) will be able to claim bib numbers at the Athlete Services Tent between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on race day in Franklin Park.

To claim your bib number, you'll be required to present a Government Issued photo ID. Please Note: If you have not yet provided proof of COVID-19 vaccination via CrowdPass, you'll also need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to receiving your bib.

Bib numbers for the upcoming B.A.A. Half Marathon are now viewable within your Athletes' Village profile, too!
Register Today to Run with the Dana-Farber Team!
Register to run with our presenting sponsor and exclusive charity team, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Join runners like Nick, who is a Dana-Farber patient himself, to do your part to support patients and their families.

Here’s why Nick runs for Dana-Farber: “It is simply the gratefulness and appreciation I have for the ability to live my life the way I want, and to be in a position today to provide even more support to this critical cancer Institution. Having this opportunity to give back to Dana-Farber after benefitting from their care directly over the past six years is such a fulfilling and rewarding experience. Anything I can do to enable them to provide the same level of care to other patients is all the motivation I need.”

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS: Please visit Dana-Farber’s website and select “HAVE SECURED YOUR OWN RACE ENTRY” since you have already registered for the race.

PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION CLOSES ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4 AT 5 P.M.

Transportation to the Start in Franklin Park
  • There is no parking within Franklin Park on race day. The recommended way to get to the start line in Franklin Park is to use the B.A.A. shuttle service from Copley Square or Forest Hills MBTA stop.

  • The B.A.A. will provide free, round-trip shuttles from Copley Square in downtown Boston to the start/finish area in Franklin Park from 5:30 a.m. – 7:15 a.m.

  • Runners utilizing Uber, Lyft, or personal vehicles should be dropped off at Walnut Avenue and School Street near Franklin Park.

  • For parking near the shuttle bus location, we suggested the 100 Clarendon Street Garage, which is just two blocks away from the shuttle pick-up at Copley Square.

Meet the Pros: Daniel Romanchuk
Daniel Romanchuk, two-time Boston Marathon wheelchair division champion and 2019 B.A.A. 10K winner, looks to win his first B.A.A. Half title. He'll be joined by Boston Marathon top-20 finishers Hermin Garic, Dustin Stallberg and Velera Jacob Allen at the front of the wheelchair division.

“I’m very much looking forward to racing the B.A.A. Half Marathon for the first time,” said Romanchuk, who finished runner-up at the Chicago Marathon on October 9. “I’ve raced the Boston Marathon, B.A.A. 5K, and B.A.A. 10K, and am excited to add the Half Marathon. I can’t wait to be back in Boston.”
