The community support for this race really set it apart. Despite the 6 AM start, there were tons of spectators along the route cheering, especially toward the end of the race when you run through residential neighborhoods. People were also playing music (including a grand piano in someone’s front yard, and multiple bluegrass bands), offering their own aid stations with freezer pops and cold sponges, pointing their sprinklers into the road to cool down runners, and providing “adult” refreshments. Major shout-out to the group handing out beers at mile 23!

In addition to the community support, the race also had beautiful scenery and was really well organized. I’d definitely recommend this race

Baystate was a great choice for my first marathon:

-Excellent pacers for times in 10-min increments between 3:00 and 4:00
-Incredibly well organized, so I could concentrate on running rather than logistics. Course was well-marked and safe from cars.
-Mostly flat course, but with enough small inclines to work different muscles periodically
-Called a double loop course, but the loop itself is only 10 miles (x2), with ~3 miles on either end
-Scenery was a good mix of woods/river and suburban
