About the race
The Mass Half takes place on April 4, 2027, in Worcester, Massachusetts, with its venue listed at 100 Madison St, Worcester, MA 01608. For the first time in more than a decade, the event returns a half marathon distance to the city.
The event offers a standard half marathon distance of 13.1 Miles. There are two registration categories listed: a general entry and a Charity Bib Runner entry. General registration opens on 2026-10-09 and closes on 2026-10-31; the Charity Bib Runner registration opens on 2026-10-09 and closes on 2026-11-30. The published registration fee for both categories is $100.00. The Charity Bib Runner category is restricted to participants who were selected by a Charity Partner and who have received a unique code; registration for that category requires the Charity Partner's agreement and approval.
United Way of Central Massachusetts identifies the race as its signature annual fundraiser, supported by M&T Bank. Proceeds will support United Way of Central Massachusetts and nonprofit organizations across the region. Organizers anticipate a large number of participants and describe the event as bringing additional activity to Worcester and Central Massachusetts and creating opportunities for local businesses, nonprofits, corporations, volunteers, and community partners.
