For the past 2 years the Baystate Marathon has had 28% of our marathon field get a BQ!

Registration is open!

As the race that is “For Runners, By Runners” we intend to improve the runner experience every year.  Here is what we recently improved:

  • A new finish line experience with monitors showing your name and finishing time as you cross.

  • Courtesy changing tents available (next to the bag check tent in the finisher’s area).

  • Race fly-through video and a personalized photo gallery so you can brag on social media available the next day.

  • A BQ/PR bell, which will have a photographer to take pictures. So we want to encourage everyone one that runs a BQ or PR to stop by and ring the bell and get a picture!

  • A new addition is a Recovery Tent for runners to relax, get a massage or stretch by one of the massage therapists or physical therapists that will be in the Recovery area.

  • ‘Motivation Mile’ signs, which are lined with inspirational messages from our club members, fellow runners, and others, to help you push through mentally where you need it most.

  • Expo located on the course for ease of pickup and to build familiarity of the last mile of the course.

FYI: We do NOT have a live video feed of the race.  Therefore, don't click on any social media links suggesting such.

OUR MISSION: We pride ourselves on being a race that is “For Runners - By Runners” and have been committed to that brand for over 30 years. Our race is one of the few remaining marathons that is put on 100% by volunteers rather than a for-profit company. Each year, all proceeds from our race are distributed to the local running community in some way. The Greater Lowell Road Runners executes our mission of promoting and encouraging the sport of running. Registration fees from this race enable GLRR to give scholarships to local high school seniors, funding the GLRR Youth Program, providing donations to local high schools who volunteer at our water stops, and partial funding of the benefits that come with a GLRR membership.
