About This Event
Please join our herd of incredibly dedicated runners and walkers who are raising funds for the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary and their International partners to protect these gentle giants. Watertown based Thomson Safaris has generously offered to be the presenting sponsor for this First Annual "Boston Run For Elephants". Visit our sponsor at www.thomsonsafaris.com.

An event for everyone, this 5k Run/Walk is a chance for you to run, push a stroller, jog or walk your way around the beautiful Chestnut Hill Reservoir while raising awareness and valuable funds for elephant care and protection. This Run/Walk builds on the momentum begun by similar runs held recently in L.A., London and New York's Central Park.

Once registered, please consider joining our fundraising efforts and take a moment to follow the link to set up a fundraising profile. This way, you can be supported by your family, friends and other ambassadors for elephants!

Bibs, timing and photos of individual runners are provided by your RaceWire registration.

Organized by volunteers from the Boston Team of the Global March for Elephants and Rhinos and the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary. Visit www.massachusettsforelephants.com for more information.

Elephants never forget, let’s not forget elephants!
