Registration for 2026 Baystate Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay is open!
Our marathon is already 1/3 full!
This year's Baystate Marathon, Half-Marathon and Relay will be on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026.
​
Please make sure to read all the information on this page before you register.
Baystate is "run" by the Greater Lowell Road Runners​ (GLRR).
We are including a new “challenge” to Baystate this year. The Baystate Badges Challenge.
It is new category added to the Relay. First responder relay teams will compete against each other for the honor of the Baystate Badges Trophy. The winning department will have their name and team engraved and take home the trophy for the year. We plan to continue this challenge annually.
Come run with us and take the trophy!
First responders, before registering, check out our Badges page for the Half Marathon relay. You can run as a team and compete against other teams for a chance at the Badges trophy!
​
Registration info below - please read!
​
You now have the option to take race insurance during registration. Note: if you decide not to take it during the registration flow, then you won't have the option to get race insurance later on.
​​
​Note, once you register, deferrals and cancellations are not allowed, as we are a non-profit organization and required to deliver services in the same fiscal period money is collected.
​
You can change, transfer or donate your registration; see below for more details on those topics.
​​
When registering for the Half Marathon Relay, each team member must register individually, but must enter the same team's name - this allows us to pair you on race day.
​
Participants can register as Male, Female or Non-Binary.
​
Non-Binary participants compete in an open division separate from the Male and Female divisions. The Non-Binary division will have award plaques presented to the top 5 competitors based on net-time. (There are no cash awards.)
​
Make sure to read more on this web page for further information on registration.
