BOSTON -- The 7th Annual Tufts Medical Center Harbor Walk and Run to benefit Tufts Medical Center and its Floating Hospital for Children will take place on Sunday, June 14.

Registration opens at 8 s.m., and the 6-mile walk and 5K Run begin at 10 a.m. outside of Carson Place at the Boston Teacher’s Union, adjacent to the Bayside Exposition Center in South Boston. The six-mile walk course will travel along the beach, wind its way around historic Fort Independence, out to Castle Island and back along the beach to Carson Place. WCVB Channel 5 weather correspondent Mike Wankum will emcee the opening ceremony for his 7th year.

This year, the Medical Center’s Family Festival will immediately follow the Harbor Walk & Run. A fun festival with music, moon bounces, magicians and games will be featured from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Center for Children with Special Needs will hold their 25th anniversary reunion this year as well.

Hundreds of walkers from over 50 teams are expected to participate in the walk to raise funds for Tufts Medical Center. The net proceeds raised by each team go to support a Tufts Medical Center or Floating Hospital clinical care, research or outreach program of the team’s choice.

Online registration and donation options are available at www.harborwalk.kintera.org. The registration fee is $25 per walker up until May 31st. Event-day registration will begin at 8 a.m. and will be $35 per walker. Children ages eight and under can participate free of charge. Volunteers are needed and welcomed at no charge, as well.
