| The 20th Annual Genesis Battlegreen Run will be held in Lexington, MA on Sunday, November 1, 2015. Since its inception in 1996, the Genesis Battlegreen Run has been established as one of the most popular road race events in New England. This race event is unlike any other racing event from start to finish. Rene Rancourt, voice of the Boston Bruins, sends the runners along their way with a stirring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, accompanied by musket fire, courtesy of the Lexington Minutemen. Another signature component of the racing event is the post-race buffet, which includes a variety of food options generously donated by many local restaurants and food vendors. Proceeds from the Genesis Battlegreen Run and related fundraising support the following local charities, Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston, Ovarian Cancer Education Awareness Network (OCEAN at MGH), the Pauline Briggs Scholarship Fund and the Genesis Community Fund. |
