In the generous and communal spirit of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Fit for Fiction and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company are teaming up for the Boston Jolly Jaunt! On Sat. Dec 6th, run or walk a 5K or 1K to help raise money to benefit local Special Olympics athletes.
Registration is $35 per 5K runner/walker and $25 per 1K runner/walker, with fundraising going toward year-round athletic training and sports competitions for individuals with intellectual disabilities throughout MA.
