New England Green River Marathon
The New England Green River Marathon is a point-to-point race that begins in Marlboro, Vermont, and concludes in Greenfield, Massachusetts. The course follows the Green River, a route that includes passage through a covered bridge from the 1870s. The finish line is located at Greenfield Community College, where participants finish in a shaded area under maple trees.
The event features a marathon distance. This course is USATF-certified (Certification MA18003JK) and is noted for its rolling, downhill profile. It features a net drop of 1,400 feet, which often assists participants in achieving personal bests or Boston Marathon qualifying times.
The event also integrates fundraising opportunities for several organizations. Runners may choose the "Stream Team" option to support the Connecticut River Conservancy's efforts in clean water and habitat restoration. Other entry tiers include mandatory donations to the Sugarloaf Mountain Athletic Club, which provides youth and adult running programs in Western Massachusetts, or Unite 2 Fight Paralysis, an organization focused on spinal cord injury research and advocacy.
Registration tiers typically include early bird, regular, and last-chance pricing options. The event is scheduled for late August. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
