Lace up for a springtime challenge at the Westfield Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K, set to take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in the charming town of Westfield, MA. This well-established event not only offers a rewarding race experience across 13.1 miles, 6.2 miles, and 3.1 miles, along with a Kids Fun Run, but also passionately supports the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 52F and lows near 30F, and a minimal 13% chance of precipitation.

The Half Marathon course is renowned for its "green, rolling hills," particularly within the first four miles, before flattening out to provide a "great tune-up" for those eyeing larger marathons. This mostly rural route guides participants through scenic areas just outside town, featuring six aid stations to keep runners hydrated and fueled. The race kicks off from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield, with ample parking available at the club and Amelia Park Ice Arena, ensuring a smooth start to your race day.

Since its inception in 1994, the Westfield Half Marathon has flourished, growing from 142 participants to attract over 600 runners annually, raising approximately $300,000 for local youth programs. Every participant earns a unique finisher medal, and early registrants for the Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K distances will receive technical shirts. The celebratory atmosphere continues post-race with a lively party in the gym at Amelia Park, offering delicious food like pasta, salads, and soup, accompanied by music to celebrate your accomplishment. Walkers are also welcome in all distances, with an early start option for the half marathon.
