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

The 2025 Baystate Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay

Sunday, October 19, 2025, 8AM.

(Registration will open early next year.)

Congratulations to all who ran in our 2024 race!

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.
