A few months have passed since the 2024 running of the Boston Marathon, and now it's time to get ready for the other Boston Marathon event of the year: the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. 

Registration for the 36th annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai is now open. To register or support a walker, click here or call (866) 531-9255. 

The 2024 Jimmy Fund walk (also searchable online as #JimmyFundWalk) will occur on Sunday, October 6. 

The Walk is a fundraiser to support all forms of adult and pediatric care and cancer research at the nation’s premiere cancer center, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

Those who register before June 30 will receive a Jimmy Fund Walk drawstring bag. 

Registrants can enter the promo code NEWS for $5 off the registration fee. All registered walkers will receive a bib, medal, and a Jimmy Fund Walk T-shirt.

Walkers can choose from four walk distances: 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon. Each walk begins in a different location, but all routes at the Finish Line Powered by Schneider Electric at Boston Common, by the corner of Charles and Beacon Street 

The finish line location has been changed from its usual location due to ongoing construction at Copley Square. 

Refueling stations with refreshments will be available along every route. Walkers of every distance will be motivated by posters of patients or “Jimmy Fund Walk Heroes” placed throughout the route. 

The finish line will include a celebration with food, entertainment, and more. Public transportation is encouraged.

Participants can register as individuals or as a team. Volunteers are needed to cheer on participants, serve snacks, distribute T-shirts, and more, at the four start locations, along the course, and at the finish line. To register as a volunteer, click here.
