LOCO Marathon Reviews

  Pretty flat fast course

By RD about 2018

Review

Picked this race to BQ because of the date being later October so good weather this time of year and mostly flat course to run a fast time. Very low key race because most people run Bay State Marathon instead which in it's own right is a decent marathon but weather can be more iffy for that race.

Race Tips

Use the pacers if available for your time. Course is two loops of 13.1, first 10 miles is on paved roads and the last 3 are on a decently packed trail. Very easy to park, take shuttle bus and pick up bib then chill until the race starts.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Very easy parking and shuttle bus. Not a huge number of runners so it's a good race if you get stressed out from race logistics.
