26.TRUE Marathon is first run.
April 30, 2021
(April) Founded by the PIONEERS Run Crew, the race course begins and ends in Roxbury and includes most of Boston’s neighborhoods. Created due to the cancellation of the Boston Marathon due to COVID-19 and to promote running for people in more diverse communities, it is initially seen as a one-time event but continues annually and grows to a field of 200 runners in 2024.
