About the 2Slow4Boston Marathon, Half & 50K
The course is a short asphalt loop through a quiet residential neighborhood with gently rolling hills, repeated many times over depending on which distance you enter. The whole point of this race is that finishing last is the goal: prize money goes to the slowest marathon finishers, and the final few across the line in the other distances get trophies and gift cards.
Because the route is a repeating loop, you pass the start area again and again throughout the race, which makes crew support easy and lets you drop without a long walk back. Spectators can watch from one spot and see you more than once.

The 2Slow4Boston Marathon, Half & 50K has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
