Great Woods Marathon

About the event

Welcome to the Great Woods Marathon & 2-Mile Test Run! 
Ready to chase your next PR in a fun, fast, and super supportive setting? Welcome to the Great Woods Marathon, an all-new race experience built for speed, safety, and serious good vibes — all happening at the iconic Great Woods in Mansfield, MA (now known as the Xfinity Center)!

The Course:
A flat, fast 2-mile loop, designed for runners who want to stay close to friends, family, bathrooms, and cheers! Start just 0.2 miles ahead of the finish line and complete 13 easy-to-track laps — every mile is marked, every step is supported, and you’re never far from water, music, or motivation.

Course Video

Just a view from the bike.  There are traffic controls on the course for other events at the venue that will not be there the day of the race.  12 minutes, making sure people see all the details.  Trust me, the video does not do the comfort of the course justice!

Perks Include:

  • Checkpoints for accurate mile splits
  • Water stops every 2 miles
  • Personal hydration tables
  • Tons of on-site parking
  • Clean and accessible restrooms
  • Flat, wide, and fully closed course — safety and convenience at every turn!

Bonus Vibes:
We’re turning back the clock with a playlist full of 80s and 90s hits to keep your feet flying and your spirits high! 

Want to Try it Out First?
Not ready for the full marathon? No problem! Join our 2-mile test run at 12:30 PM and get a feel for the loop. It’s the perfect preview for next year — or just a great excuse to be part of the party!

6-Hour Time Window
We’ll keep the good vibes going for at least 6 hours. If you’re still out there, you won’t be alone — you’ll just be sharing the course with some enthusiastic 2-milers!

Whether you're chasing a PR, crushing your first marathon, or just in it for the music and memories, the Great Woods Marathon is where your next big moment begins. Don’t miss it!
