The James Joyce Ramble is a 10-kilometer race held in Dedham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. The race is held each year in April, following soon after the Boston Marathon. The race is named for Irish writer James Joyce, and actors are hired to recite the works of Joyce along the course as runners and walkers pass by.[1] The race now draws over 2,000 runners each year, many of whom stick around the Boston area after the Boston Marathon.[2]
