Boston Marathon weekend is almost here.
Join Zappos and Gansett Run Club, one of New England’s largest run communities, for a free shakeout run to kick off one of the best weekends of the year.
We’ll meet at the carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and head out together through the North End before making our way into Paul Revere Park for a quick stretch. Then we roll back as a group - easy, relaxed, and exactly what your legs need heading into Monday.

Zappos will have demo shoes from multiple brands ready to go, plus giveaways and chances to win prizes throughout the morning!.
