MARATHON PARK PREP 13.1 MILE RACE
Saturday March 19, 2016
Registration Going On Now
Set in mid March, the Marathon Park Prep Half 13.1 mile race is the perfect prep race for the Boston Marathon. The MPP Half-Marathon winds its way along a 13.1 mile figure 8 course through the town of Ashland Massachusetts.
The half-marathon course is a mixture of flats and hills, at some points running parallel to the Sudbury River and at others skirting Ashland State Park. The route includes the stretch of the traditional course that Boston’s spring marathon follows through the town of Ashland, about 25 miles west of Boston. The 5K course shares some of these features. With its picturesque and challenging course, its veteran organizers, Squanto Productions of Natick Ma, a spring pre-marathon event competitive runners crave, easy access by public transportation with the Ashland stop on the Boston-Worcester MBTA line just steps away from Marathon Park as well as plenty of free parking nearby.
There are many other exciting race details now being finalized. Stay connected by joining our email newsletter and following us on facebook and twitter.
Each year a portion of the races proceeds go towards making improvements in Marathon Park and the development of a museum nearby dedicated to "The Ashland Era". This year we encourage you to donate to one of our charities of choice. Thank you for your generosity and support.
