Harbor Dash Race Information

The Harbor Dash is an exciting opportunity for runners to explore Peddocks Island, one of the most interesting and historic islands in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. It was a film location for the movie “Shutter Island”.

The course travels among the many old buildings and ruins of Fort Andrews before traveling along a coastal path with picturesque views of Boston, Hull and Hingham Bay. The island has recently undergone a four year restoration and our event will be one of the first to utilize it since the project’s completion. The island has extensive amenities including a visitors center and plentiful restrooms.

This is a rain or shine event. Lunch will be provided to all runners so please feel free to bring a picnic blanket to enjoy lunch and hopefully some great weather. Families are encouraged to attend but for safety reasons only umbrella strollers are allowed.

The 5k Race will begin at 10:30 and the kid's run will start at 11:15 AM. Packet pickup will take place upon arrival at Peddocks Island. There will be no race day registration.
