Race Info
The race will be chip timed. All participants will receive a T-shirt and finisher’s medal. You will be able to pick up the starting bag on the race day also.
The cut off time for the half marathon is 4 hours. There will be 1 water station on the 5K course, 2 on the 10K course and 8 on the half marathon. August usually brings warm weather to Massachusetts, but it can also bring rain or storms, so be prepared to dress appropriately for all conditions.
Awards: awarding by the age groups will be only at the half marathon. Overall winners will receive a commemorative plaque. Organizers also host additional activities throughout race day: musical performances during the pre-run warm-up or post-race festivities with food trucks offering delicious food after participants cross the finish line.
