For 2026 all bus registration is online only - no mail in applications will be accepted. Please register here to take the bus.

This is Greater Lowell Road Runners bus transportation to the Boston Marathon on Monday April 20, 2026. You must be a member in good standing of the club, (if you are not a club member please email us at BostonBus@glrr.net and we can help you a membership -- please note: club membership is a requirement of the BAA, not us) and you must also be an official entrant of the 2025 BAA Boston Marathon.

The bus will leave Cawley Stadium in Lowell at 6:45am (subject to change) on race day. GLRR has a policy of waiting for all runners to be accounted for before we leave Boston to return home on race day. The bus typically leaves Boston by 7:00pm. You can decide to find alternate transportation home if you do not want to wait. If you are looking for a ride back only (getting your own way in), please email us - don't register yet.

If you are only interested in the amenities we provide at the hotel (hot shower, massage, food, drinks, beer) then you can help us out by paying for this -- select the “Hotel Only” option. You can select this option even if you are not a GLRR member.

We get 2-3 hotel rooms at the Park Plaza for our use for the day; we have volunteers who will be bringing your bag, plus food and beverages up to the rooms. We have showers, and massages for post race relaxation!

We also need a few volunteers to help us on race day: setting up the hotel rooms, assisting runners, etc. You can become a volunteer by registering on this link. For additional questions, please email gjotto@comcast.net

Emails will be going out in late March with important race day info.
