About the Run Like Kat

Run Like Kat is a road race in Longmeadow held in memory of Katarina Boskovic, a student athlete and youth track coach known for her kindness and her eye for the good in people. The race draws people who knew her and people who just want to be part of something that means something. Proceeds go entirely to the memorial fund her family and community manage in her name.

Early bib pickup runs the two days before the race at Fleet Feet Longmeadow on Bliss Road, with race-morning check-in available for those who cannot make it ahead of time.

Common Questions About the Run Like Kat

Will I finish last at the Run Like Kat?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 27:37, and the last recorded finisher came in around 42:25, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run Like Kat a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 295 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run Like Kat?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:20 while the median finisher took 27:37. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
