The Angry Chicken Race Series

Lace up your running shoes and kick off your summer with The Angry Chicken Race Series, beginning Tuesday, June 9, 2026, in scenic Lowell, MA. This popular series features an engaging 2.62-mile distance—a perfect "tenth of a marathon"—on a beautiful loop course. Runners will navigate the course counter-clockwise, starting and finishing at the S-curve entrance to the Riverwalk, offering a pleasant experience along the Lowell waterfront. Typical race day conditions in early June boast comfortable highs around 76°F and lows around 53°F, with only a 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal evening running weather.

The Angry Chicken Race Series is more than just a single race; it's a vibrant, eight-race summer tradition that fosters community spirit. Each Tuesday evening brings a new opportunity to compete, earn points towards overall series prizes, and even showcase your creativity with themed races offering small prizes for the best costumes. Your participation also supports a fantastic cause, with donations benefiting Catie's Closet, a non-profit dedicated to providing essential items to students in need. Bib pick-up is conveniently located at Marx Running and Fitness in downtown Lowell before each race.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a fun run with friends, or looking for a consistent way to stay active this summer, The Angry Chicken Race Series promises an energetic and rewarding experience. Join fellow runners for this unique and spirited series that combines fitness, fun, and philanthropy in the heart of Lowell.
