Morning run/walk

Kickstart your second day with a burst of energy and fresh air!

This will be our second annual Boston Nextflow Summit Sunrise Fun Run & Walk - catering to all fitness levels. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or someone who just enjoys a leisurely walk, this activity is designed for everyone.

A professional instructor will guide us through a series of warm-ups and stretches, before and after we hit the route, along part of the Boston Seaport area, and will also share tips and help with technique during the run. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to invigorate your body before the Summit sessions kick in for the day, but it’s also a perfect chance to mingle and experience the beautiful morning scenery together.

For those who wish to walk instead, we'll follow a 1.7 mile route which will include a stop at local favorite Tatte Bakery and Cafe.

Join us for this refreshing morning venture. Lace-up your sneakers, soak in the ambiance, and let’s start the day on the right foot! 🌟👟
