About the Race for Recovery 2026
The race takes place on Nantucket, with distance options for runners and a shorter walk for those who want it, plus a separate run for kids. Packet pickup the day before is at a farm stand, which gives the pre-race errand a different feel than a hotel lobby or expo hall.
Race morning pickup opens well before the start. Post-race there are giveaways, awards, and music on site. The race also has a fundraising component, with the option to run as part of a team working toward a shared goal.
