The race will start and finish on BC's campus, outside of Gasson Hall. The most convenient parking areas are the Boston College parking garages on campus (fees apply) or metered parking on Beacon St. There are bathrooms available in the surrounding academic buildings.
The BC MBA 5K is thrilled to partner with the Boston College Strong Scholarship. This scholarship fund was established by the Class of 2005 in honor of their friend and fellow classmate, Patrick Downes '05 and his wife Jessica Kensky, in the spirit of love they received in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. The scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving student, with preference to those who excel with a physical disability or dedicate time to serve others. Net proceeds will be donated to benefit this cause.
