2Slow4Boston Marathon & Half will once again
be held in Greer, SC on April 27, 2025.
For Immediate Release (April 8th, 2025)
Greer, SC – Get ready for an unforgettable race day experience! The 12th edition of the 2Slow4Boston Marathon & Half is back, bringing runners of all paces together in the heart of Greer. For the sixth year in a row, this unique and inspiring event will be held near historic downtown Greer, where currently participants from 13 states and Canada are gearing up to take on the challenge!
With only 75 marathon spots and 25 half-marathon spots available, registration will remain open until 3 PM on April 26th – but don’t wait too long, as spots are filling up fast!
Originally founded in North Carolina, 2Slow4Boston was designed to create an inclusive space for all runners, especially those who might not always be in the spotlight. While the event celebrates the middle and back-of-the-pack runners, all are encouraged to join the fun! The race features a 1.31-mile loop course, with marathoners completing 20 loops and half-marathoners tackling 10 loops. And here’s a twist – while the marathon is the only event with cash prizes, the last three finishers of each race will take home 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards!
“We keep the course open until the last participant crosses the finish line,” says Race Director Adamy Diaz. “This race is about perseverance, camaraderie, and celebrating every runner’s journey.”
New this year, we are thrilled to have the support of Dr. Kathryn Proctor, DPT, from Spiro Physical Therapy! If you need assistance before, during, or after the race, be sure to stop by and see her for expert support.
As a signature feature of the 2Slow4Boston Marathon, runners who have never completed a marathon or who have qualified for or finished the Boston Marathon will participate as “Bandits.” While their marathon will still be official, Bandits won’t be eligible for prize money – because this race is about shining a light on those who often go unnoticed.
The race kicks off at 701 West Poinsett St., Greer, next to The Clock Restaurant – home of Team Be @ Peace headquarters and Angel Dolfyn Massage. Race organizers Adamy Diaz and her husband, Don, are both passionate back-of-the-pack runners. Adamy has completed 30+ marathons and ultramarathons, while Don has conquered over 100! Their dedication to celebrating every runner’s journey fuels the heart of this event.
We couldn’t do this without our incredible sponsors: The Clock Restaurant of Greer, Run In, Angel Dolfyn Massage, daWebGenius Creative Solutions Agency and 3CatsWeb.
