The Marshfield Road Runners is a non-profit group dedicated to the sheer fun and camaraderie of running. We have been in existence since the age of dinosaurs and the average age approaches that of the Supreme Judicial court.

All kidding aside, the club is an informal group with over 200 members. There are scheduled workouts that attract runners of all ages and abilities and a variety of annual events including races and social gatherings. Don't miss out! Join the fun. JOIN TODAY!
