Duff Run

Duff Run is a running event held in Marion, Massachusetts, on November 14, 2026, with a start at 12:30 PM. The official distance is not specified in the event listing, so confirm the race details before planning your training. The midday start sets it apart from the usual early-morning weekend race and leaves the morning free for travel to Marion.

A late-fall community run in a Massachusetts town suits anyone who wants a relaxed goal before the holidays. Without a confirmed distance, prepare as you would for a short road race: three easy runs a week, one of them slightly longer, and a few strides to keep your legs quick. Eat a light meal two to three hours before the 12:30 PM start rather than racing on an empty stomach, and adjust your warm-up to the midday timing so you are not standing around getting stiff.
