Entrants who select the Golden Racer option on their registration form will start in their appropriate race (men’s or women’s) but run a shortened course to Junior Race Point (halfway up the mountain) and back to the finish line.

The Golden Racer option is only available to entrants aged 70 years and older. No previous Mount Marathon race experience is required.

Golden Racers must reach the cutoff checkpoint at the Junior Race Point (halfway up the mountain) within 75 minutes and complete the race within 2 hours, 30 minutes to receive an official Golden Racer finish time.

The race committee is offering this option to encourage older competitors to continue participating. The race community and spectators are inspired by older athletes and their participation is part of what makes Mount Marathon such a unique event.

After registering, Golden Racer entrants must complete the form below. The form will be available from March 1 until July 3.
