The virtual walk or run can be completed from any location you choose, even on your treadmill! You get to choose your date, your own course, and what time you start. You can walk or run at your own pace and time it yourself. Families, friends, and pets are all welcome. Hero costumes and signs honoring your frontline hero are encouraged!

The Boston Home's Virtual Hero 2.5 Mile Walk/Run can be completed any time from June 29 to July 4 2020.

All registration fees and donations will support The Boston Home's Compassionate Care Capital Campaign goal of $2.5 million. Visit our website at  https://www.thebostonhome.org/news-events/ to register or for more information.

Send us your costume photos, hero signs, and the names of your frontline heroes so we can give them a proper shout-out for their dedication and sacrifices!
