2027 Boston Marathon

The Parkinson's Foundation hopes to some day be an official charity partner for the Boston Marathon, though we were not accepted for the 2027 race. 

By signing up to run as a Parkinson's Champion you commit to raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson's Foundation, and in return you get access to a free entry (bib) to the race in addition to tons of other fun benefits and perks. You can learn more about our program at Run4PD.org. 

While we weren’t accepted as an official charity partner for 2027, we are continuing to explore ways to attain some bibs. We are not accepting applications at this time, however we will update this page if that changes.

The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events. The Boston Marathon has distinguished itself as a pinnacle event within the sport of road racing by virtue of its traditions, longevity, and method of gaining entry into the race via qualification.

If you have questions, send us an email at Run4PD@Parkinson.org. For more information about the race itself, visit the Boston Marathon Homepage.
