SPORTS IN A MINUTE: MCGILLIVRAY HAS RACES AT GILLETTE, FENWAY

THE EAGLE-TRIBUNE

DMSE Sports, which has managed and produced more than 1,400 mass-participatory events over the past 40 years, will be back at Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place to manage the Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 5K and at Fenway Park for the Run to Home Base. This is a change of mission at these sites for the event management team—they spent the first six months of 2021 at these facilities, leading the operations and logistics for administering 1.3 million vaccination shots.

The Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 5K, usually a July 3 race, will take place on September 3. The course begins on the concourse of the stadium, runs up and down two sets of ramps, and around the perimeter of the property. Finally, in an exciting finish, participants cross the 50-yard line of the storied field of the New England Patriots and Revolution. Interested participants can register now at FinishAtThe50.com.

The Run to Home Base, a 5K and 9K benefiting Home Base, begins on Jersey Street, just outside Fenway Park’s Gate D. Participants run through Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood to eventually enter the park and finish on the crushed brick of the warning track. Those interested may register for the event at runtohomebase.org.
