Holiday Inn The discount code is: JJR. The registration link is: Holiday Inn Boston-Dedham Htl & Conf Ctr | Hotels In Dedham MA Close To Gillette Stadium (ihg.com) Athletes are advised to register for lodging at the Host Hotel as soon as possible and, in any case, before mid-March. The Town of Dedham is hosting 300 immigrant families in one hotel (not the Holiday Inn). As a result, there is more than the usual booking pressure on hotels, such as the Holiday Inn, in Dedham and nearby.

If the 2023 USATF Masters 10 km Championships is selected for drug testing, prize money checks will be mailed following our receipt of the drug testing results. The race has no control over when the results of the drug tests are released, and we cannot release the prize money until we have official results as it can directly affect the distribution amounts.
