About the Old Colony Marathon

This Westfield marathon is the Massachusetts race in STAR Racing's second New England challenge weekend. It is a distinct full with its own course, date and results, not a renamed Challenge I event.

Course

The full distance is measured over 14 loops at Stanley Park. Runners see the same aid and landmarks often, making logistics predictable while rewarding disciplined pacing and reliable lap counting.

Race-day weather

Western Massachusetts near the end of May can be cool at the start, then become warm or humid. Rain is also possible, so loop pacing should account for changing pavement and temperature.
