Lace up your running shoes and join the vibrant community for the Angry Chicken Race Series in Lowell, MA, with the next exciting installment taking place on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. This popular summer tradition features a spirited 2.62-mile (a tenth of a marathon) loop course along the scenic Riverwalk, offering a refreshing evening run where participants go counter-clockwise against traffic. The start and finish line buzz with energy at the S-curve entrance to the Riverwalk, marking a perfect setting for both competitive runners and those looking for a fun, community-focused event.
The Angry Chicken Race Series is renowned for its lively atmosphere, with each race boasting a unique theme and a prize for the best costume, adding a layer of playful competition to the event. As part of an eight-race series held every Tuesday evening, runners accumulate points, and those who complete at least three races are eligible for prizes awarded at the series' conclusion. Beyond the fun and competition, your participation supports a worthy cause, as the series benefits Catie's Closet, a non-profit dedicated to providing essential items to students in need.
Typical race day conditions in late June often bring pleasant summer weather, with highs averaging around 81°F and lows around 58°F, accompanied by a modest 18% chance of precipitation. This creates an ideal environment for tackling the relatively flat and fast course. Bib pick-up is conveniently located at Marx Running and Fitness in downtown Lowell, making it easy to prepare for an enjoyable and impactful evening run.
