We're excited to announce, for the first time in history, there will be a marathon run entirely within a professional football stadium. Football-obsessed fans and challenge-motivated runners alike have the chance to run 26.2 miles on the field at Gillette for the Inaugural Gillette Stadium Marathon.

On Friday, September 28, it'll be a marathon for the strong of mind and spirit, for sure. Runners will run more than 100 times around the square field and each will raise a minimum of $5,000 to benefit the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation, which will distribute the funds to homeless shelters throughout New England.
