Battle of Bunker Hill 5K Road Race

Lace up for history at the iconic Battle of Bunker Hill 5K Road Race, set to challenge runners through the historic streets of Charlestown, MA, on Sunday, June 14, 2026. As one of the oldest road races in the Northeast, this event offers a unique blend of scenic beauty and a challenging course. Runners will navigate the rolling streets and hills of Charlestown, passing by significant landmarks such as the Charlestown Training Field, St. Mary's Church, the Freedom Trail, and the Bunker Hill Monument.

This 5K race is renowned for its vibrant community spirit, benefiting the Charlestown Boys & Girls Club. Participants can look forward to ideal running conditions, with typical race day highs around 75°F and lows around 60°F, accompanied by only a 15% chance of precipitation. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Charlestown Boys & Girls Club's 60 High Street Building, which also hosts the exciting "John McGee Team Challenge" where local restaurants vie for bragging rights. Given its popularity and limited spots for 1,000 registered participants, this race often sells out quickly. Secure your spot and experience a memorable journey through American history while supporting a great cause.
