Thousands of women begin the 2025 Boston 10K for Women (Conventures, Inc., 2025)

First held on Monday, October 10, 1977, the race was established as an endeavor to grow the women’s running movement and aspired to unite a few hundred women. “When we began this race in 1977, we were trying to show the city that women’s sports mattered,” said Dusty Rhodes, the event’s founder and race director. “More than 2,000 women came to our first running, and now, 49 editions later, we’re recommitting ourselves to the next 50 years of women’s sports and running.”

The Boston 10K for Women annually attracts a world-class field of elite runners, while thousands of women race to celebrate women’s strength, speed, and camaraderie. The event features a kids race, and hours of athletic programming to complement the 6.2-mile course through Boston’s Back Bay.
