New England Marathons Fall 2026

Updated December 6th, 2025

The Millinocket Marathon in the final race in the New England Marathons Fall 2025 season. Several marathons have opened registration for the Fall 2026 New England marathon season and early registration usually offers the best prices. Several Fall marathons sold out before race day this year which is great for the racing community.

While no one likes to miss a chance to run a great race, when races sell out it is more likely that they will be back year after year. Your early registration helps race organizers plan and provides funds for deposits on equipment and services.

The Millinocket Marathon & Half

Millinocket Marathon, Maine marathon

Millinocket, ME |  6 December |  Saturday 2025

Marathon starts at 10AM
Half Marathon starts at 10:10 AM

The last of the New England Marathons for fall of 2025 and registration is still open!

2026 registration is not open

There is no registration fee for this race. This New England Marathon was conceived of as a way to help the economy of a Northern Maine former mill town: Millinocket.

When I was growing up the paper industry made Millinocket a bustling town. While I was attending college at The University of Maine the mill was on it’s last legs. Everyone knew that hard times were coming, just like they did in so many other mill towns across America.

Just like other mill towns across the country, Millinocket is working to reinvent itself.

This race allows you to be a part of that revival and run a great marathon or half marathon.

This race is at least five hours north of Boston. Throw in some traffic or weather and you’ll be well beyond five hours. Just keep that in mind.

Oh, it it’s guaranteed to be cold. It’s just a question of how cold. Keep this in mind before you register.

A note from the Race Director:

Important: Please don’t register unless you are somewhat serious about traveling to Millinocket in the first place. Although our race is FREE, we still prepare bib numbers and accrue expenses to prepare for your participation. We totally understand that life happens, but if you can’t come, don’t just NOT show up; it’s very important to officially cancel your registration in a timely manner so that those volunteering their time and funds do not expend them unnecessarily. Thank you for your understanding — we can’t wait to see you in the Magic City!

This year there were 119 marathon finishers and 329 half-marathon finishers. Brian Adams finished first at 2:03 and Maddy Pfeifer was the first place female at 3:46. I’m not sure if Brian’s finish time is correct as he finished 1:08 ahead of the 2nd place runner Luke Murphy.

baystate, bay state marathon

This marathon always sells out. There are very few flat marathons in New England, but Baystate is one of them.

If you are looking to qualify for Boston, this is a good choice. The race is mostly flat with the bridges over the Merrimack having the most elevation gain. Part of the course is a double loop, so it can be challenging to see the โ€œMile 22โ€ sign when you are at Mile 12 and starting to feel it.

run.outsideonline.com ranked Baystate as #1 in the Northeast for a BQ in 2025

Baystate Marathon is ranked #17 by findmymarathon.com for a BQ in 2025

RaceRave runners gave Baystate 4.6 shoes.

This is a well supported race with local high schools competing to have the best water stop! There is plenty of parking at the Tsongas Arena garage.

This is a favorite race for many GBA runners and had about 2,200 finishers in 2024. I’ve run Baystate four times.

    Thanks for the list. Too bad these are all virtual.

    My friends and I were planning on running Smuttynose but it went virtual. We had rented a house so we ran it there anyway.

    Next year, we are planning another race-cation – Maybe RI???

      Me and two buddies took the train to Philly last fall and ran the Philadelphia Marathon.
      It was fun and we had a great time together. We could never have guessed it would be our last marathon for a long time.
      There are a few marathons in RI to choose from. Providence is a nice city to visit.

    Thank you so much for this very comprehensive directory. We will be visiting my sister on Cape Cod sometime this fall. Maybe I should look for a race to coincide with our visit!

      Hi Laurie,

      I’m glad you liked it.

      It’s encouraging to see all of these races set dates and start taking registrations.
