From the Organizer
Welcome to the 6th Annual Haunted Forest Marathon Weekend
-
Family Friendly / Themed event featuring a Full Marathon (26.2 miles), a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), and 5K (3.1 miles).
-
First mile on the road / remainder of the race on hard packed crushed limestone and blacktop. Marathon has a total of 57 feet of elevation over the 26.2 mile distance!
-
A GREAT Boston Qualifier which includes a SECOND medal if you qualify on race day. 18% of our 2025 Marathon participants qualified for Boston.
-
AWARDS handed out on a rolling basis throughout the morning
- NEW 5K course that is MUCH FASTER!
5K AND HALF SOLD OUT
- What that means: the number of medals and bibs for those events equals the number of registered runners.
- Will someone not show up? Probably but we won't know that until everyone crosses the starting line.
- Marathoners that drop down to the Half Marathon will receive the Marathon medal. We will reclassify the runner as a Half Finisher.
