Join us for the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Fall Festival & Run for Justice, a family-friendly day of fun, food, live music, and good-natured competition along the Charles River at Herter Park in Boston.

Meet up with friends and colleagues – or bring your loved ones – while you participate in festival games, dance to the rhythm of live music from attorney musicians, and cheer on the Run for Justice participants!

Support critical legal services and make a difference in the legal community through the Run for Justice, a 2.6-mile walk/run “mini-thon” (1/10 of a marathon) along the Charles River. Participants* can donate to civil legal aid and innocence project work in the Commonwealth.

* Register to participate in the Run for Justice as an individual or create a team with members of your firm, company, school, or nonprofit organization.

Racing the course is optional.

Please check in before 12:15 p.m. if you want to race the course for time or to make it interesting with your colleagues. The race will begin at 12:15 p.m.
