The Carroll Center for the Blind participates in its sixth VISION 5K.

Join your fellow alumni, instructors and friends on June 7 to show your Carroll Center pride and walk or run in support of The Carroll Center!

The VISION 5K is a run or walk for everyone. Blind, visually impaired or sighted individuals will enjoy a sun filled morning in Boston’s Back Bay Fens.

For beginners or experienced runners and walkers, this Flat and fast two loop course through Boston’s scenic Back Bay Fens (on road course ending on the track of Roberto Clemente Field) is made for personal bests and easy navigation.

The race begins at Roberto Clemente Field on Park Drive. The VISION 5K course is spectator friendly with music at start, finish, and 2 mile mark. Family and friends can cheer you on in multiple spots along the course.

After you run or walk, enjoy our great post race party . Live music, post race BBQ, Legal Sea Foods Famous Chowder, Ice-cream and more!
