Paid, registered veterans will receive a technical DAV 5K Boston shirt for participating.
Veterans and service members from all branches will celebrate by running, walking, and rolling together.
Bragging rights for the fastest branch are up for grabs again in 2026!
See details below about our special Veterans Connection tent on race day at Castle Island.
Having received contact from numerous local institutions that wish to get in front of the DAV 5K Boston's veteran audience, we have realized the value in laying out a specific area of the venue for these entities. In this area, entities in six adjacent tents will engage directly with you in a family friendly setting, providing you with career and social opportunities that reach well beyond race day.
We want this to be a seamless and comfortable experience for you, so we have contacted these entities and asked them to provide brief descriptions of the opportunities they will provide, as well as the points of contact at the tents who you can speak to. This way, you are fully prepared to make your 'Veteran Connection' on race day.
