While we raise money for organizations to do direct intervention, we can also help make our community a cleaner and safer place to spend time by cleaning up some of the trash in the area using tools provided by the Cambridge Department of Public Works.

The race itself can be run or walked on a path that goes through Davis, into Teele Square, down Broadway past Tufts, to Ball Square, and back to Davis. In the past, volunteers have helped set up the program, cheer on and guide runners, and serve food at the catered lunch afterwards.
