More than 100 runners and walkers took part in the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) Neighborhood Fitness Series presented by Boston Children’s Hospital on Oct. 14 in Pope John Paul II Park in Dorchester.

Athletes of all ages and abilities lined up to run/walk the 2 km (1.25 miles) or 4 km (2.5 miles) course through the park and along the Neponset Trail, with all participants receiving a unicorn medal at the finish.

Runners also took pictures with the Boston Marathon Champion’s Trophy and received a special BAA Adidas hat while community organizations, including Boston Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention, Bowdoin Street Health Center, Waterfront Coalition, and Neponset River Greenway Council, were present sharing information and resources with participants.

This was the fifth and final BAA Neighborhood Fitness Series presented by Boston Children’s Hospital this year. The 2024 calendar of events will be announced in the coming months.
