賓敦馬拉松

The Beantown Marathon is an attempt to beat the Boston Marathon qualifying record at Bear Cove Park in Hingham, Massachusetts.

It brings to the fore the goal of arranging a race on the final qualifying weekend before general registration opens in Boston.

Instead of taking a long course ride across the city, you complete the marathon distance by taking six turns on a controlled loop in a quiet park.

The structure of running the same route over and over again becomes the stage for record challenges.

Course has been certified by the American Track and Field Federation.

Bunker Alley has short sections of compacted gravel, and on some routes, participants run in opposite directions.

A loop path within the park connects Bunker Alley and Bear Cove Pass to the north and Conservatory Pass to the south.

Finish is located at a branch from the loop, and participants who have completed the last lap enter the final direction from the junction.

It is a race where the same points appear every lap, but the finish line is set aside outside the repeat section.

Participants start in groups divided based on their target completion time.

It is a method that provides an opportunity for runners aiming for similar records to run together.

Organizers describe the event as a race designed to achieve a Boston qualifying record,

and are structured to focus on competing for records within a limited participation size.

At the same time, we are also connected to fundraising activities for Boston Children's Hospital.

This is a competition where you compete against your personal records on a quiet park loop while also helping local children get treatment.
