About the event

The 9th Annual Lingzi Dream Dash 5K Run/Walk will take place on the Charles River Esplanade, on a fast, flat 3.1-mile course with views of the city as Lingzi herself saw it. Bring family and friends and join us in supporting the things Lingzi loved — things like community, education and the beauty of Boston in the fall.

The Lingzi Foundation honors the legacy of Lingzi Lu, the 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China who was killed in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The Foundation embodies Lingzi's spirit by providing educational opportunities for courageous and ambitious students like her and supporting organizations that reflect her passions. It recognizes people who in build bridges between cultures and communities.
