Summer’s here—and so is the city’s favorite Wednesday ritual.
The PIONEERS Run Crew has officially kicked off its annual Dear Summer Tour, a community-centered run series that weaves through Boston’s neighborhoods week after week. Each Wednesday night, this Black-led, people-powered movement is lacing up and hitting the pavement with purpose, unity, and just the right amount of swag.
This isn’t just a run. It’s a pop-up block party in motion.
The Dear Summer Tour isn’t sticking to one corner of the city. Instead, it’s choosing a new neighborhood each week, inviting longtime residents, newcomers, and curious onlookers to pull up, lace up, and tap in. Whether you’re clocking miles or just soaking in the vibes, the energy is contagious.
And yes—there’s more than just sweat and sneakers.
In true PIONEERS fashion, the crew has dropped a limited-edition “Dear Summer” merch line, available exclusively at the Wednesday Night Crew Runs. The gear? Hot. The quantities? Even hotter (read: very limited). It’s a “first come, fresh fit” situation—once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The message is simple: show up, show love, and rep the crew. With the Dear Summer Tour, they’re not just making running accessible—they’re making it cool.
So if you hear music in the distance on a Wednesday night, or see a wave of joy, movement, and sweat making its way through your block—you already know.
The Dear Summer Tour is in town.
