8 a.m.: Run to Home Base is about ready to get going as participants are getting their final stretch in before the gun goes off.
Even if you can't participate in Sunday's Run to Home Base, there's still a way for you to help out.
Anyone can watch for free from the field box seats and the
grandstands in support of the 2,000 runners. Activities in the concourse will include abbreviated tours, pictures
with Wally and pictures with Boston's two World Series trophies.
Runners are expected to return to Fenway between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.
The Run to Home Base benefits the Red Sox Foundation and the Mass
General Hospital Home Base Program for local servicemen and women
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat stress disorders.
"The brave men and women who have served our nation have earned not
only our respect, but deserve the best of care when they come home,"
said Red Sox and Red Sox Foundation chairman Tom Werner.
