We Love Boston Chinatown Virtual 5k & 1 Mile Race/Walk


Join us for the “We Love Boston Chinatown” Virtual 5k & 1 Mile Race/Walk presented by BCNC’s Bamboo Circle.

This event is FREE so all can participate and show their love for Chinatown. This is a great opportunity to get back out in the fresh air, exercise, and show your support for the community. Although this event is FREE, we highly encourage you to show your love to Asian and new immigrant families by: making a donation; inviting friends to run/walk or asking friends to donate.

Help us raise $5,000 (5k!) by September 13th!
