Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the questions we hear most often from prospective participants. We are here to help! If you don’t see a question answered below, please contact us team@bwh.harvard.edu.

When is race day?

In-person race day is Sunday, October 5, 2025. Virtual participants can pick a day, time, activity, and location that works for them October 3-5, 2025.  More information will be provided to participants leading up to race day.

How do I register for the Marr Team?

Step 1: Determine your participation level.

  • You have the option to race in the marathon or half marathon as an individual, start your own relay team as a team captain, or join a relay team as a teammate. Decide which distance is best for you-there are no wrong answers!
  • Once you’ve determined your participation level, you’re ready to register.

Step 2: Register with the Maine Marathon to secure your bib.

  • Please ensure you use the correct link below based on your participation level. Registering through the wrong link may cause you to be charged incorrectly. All participants must register with the Maine Marathon event to secure a bib for race day.

Step 3: Register with the Brigham and create your fundraising page.

  • All participants must register on TeamRaiser to officially join the Marr Fund Team and start fundraising. Complete this step no later than September 5 to confirm your shirt size for the race.

What is the fundraising commitment?

By joining the Marr Fund Team, fundraising is required per individual. If you don’t complete your fundraising commitment by October 3, 2025, at 6am EST, the credit card on file will be charged the remaining balance. Fundraising commitments are as follows:

  • In-person: $150
  • Virtual: $100

Am I responsible for any other costs/fees outside of fundraising?

Yes.

In-person teammates are responsible for two fees: a Maine Marathon registration fee that is dependent on your participation level and a $5 Marr Fund Team fee made via your TeamRaiser fundraising page registration.

Virtual teammates are responsible for the $5 Marr Fund Team fee made via your TeamRaiser fundraising page registration.

All fees are separate from individual fundraising commitments.
