Great Woods Marathon & 5k
The event takes place on April 24, 2027, at the Xfinity Center area in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The program includes two race distances:
- 26.2 miles marathon on a loop course.
- 5K distance as a separate event.
The marathon uses a flat two mile loop. Runners begin 0.2 miles ahead of the finish line and complete 13 laps to reach the full marathon distance. The course is closed to traffic on race day and is described as wide and spectator friendly.
Timing locations are placed at each mile marker to provide mile splits and post-race reporting. Aid and facilities are placed regularly: there are water stops and bathrooms every two miles, and personal hydration tables are permitted. The venue offers on-site parking and accessible restrooms near the course for friends and family to observe runners from the Xfinity Center lot.
The event schedule includes at least a six hour time window for runners on course. The organizer lists a playlist of 1980s and 1990s music during the event. Registration details provided by the organizer list fees and open/close dates for each race: marathon registration fee is $95.00 with registration opening April 26, 2026 and closing November 30, 2026; the 5K registration fee is $35.00 with registration opening May 14, 2026 and closing April 24, 2027.
