This is a virtual event, so the course is entirely your own. You pick the route, whether that is a neighborhood loop, a local park, a trail, or a treadmill. Boston Common is suggested as a starting point for those who want a shared reference, but there is no marked course, no official start line, and no timing crew waiting anywhere.
