Harpoon Brewery, South Boston

Accessibility & Participation

Can I participate in a wheelchair or handcycle?

Yes! Anyone is welcome to participate in a wheelchair or handcycle! Make sure when you register, you select that you are participating as such.

Is there a minimum time I have to be able to run to participate?

The race is open to all runners; however, keep in mind that we begin to break down the race course around 11 AM, so we do not encourage walkers. 

Can I run with a stroller?

The Harpoon 5-Miler is USA Track and Field sanctioned, so we have to play by their rules. That means strollers and jogging strollers are not permitted. You'll have to brave the 5 miles solo, without your little ones.
In the interest of space, strollers are also not permitted in the event space at the Brewery after the race. Your partners and little ones can join you to celebrate your success after the race - you'll just need to leave the strollers in the car or at home.

Can I run with my dog?

The Harpoon 5-Miler is USA Track and Field sanctioned, which means that pets are not permitted to join us along the way. After the race, for safety and space restrictions, we do not allow dogs into the post-race event space at the Brewery.

Can I run with headphones?

You are more than welcome to run with headphones on race day, but we encourage you to take in all of the amazing energy from the spectators on race day.
