Mainly Marathons New England Series
The Mainly Marathons New England Series is a six-day running series held June 7–12, 2027, with one race each day in these locations: Simsbury CT, Woonsocket RI, Holyoke MA, Springfield VT, Claremont NH, and Sanford ME. Each day uses a multi-loop course; tentative marathon lap counts range from 12 to 16 laps depending on the venue.
Available race distances include:
- 50K
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 5K
Packet pickup is offered the day before the series and on each race morning. An optional early start is available for half marathoners and longer distances for runners expecting 6+ hour finishes. The series follows a “no runner left behind” approach; there is generally no time limit for marathon and shorter distances, but participants must finish at least 30 minutes before park closing. The final day of the series has a 10 hour time limit.
Pets are not allowed on course; strollers are permitted. Aid support is concentrated at a large multi-loop aid area that includes fruit, jelly beans, sandwiches, water, Gatorade, hot coffee, and a mobile kitchen named Loony Lunchbox.
All participants receive a shirt and multiple medals: a starter medal, a year tab, and a state medal for each day. A Series Finisher Medal is awarded for completing all six days and medals link together; special awards include first-time full or half marathon recognition and a caboose medal for the final finisher.
