Train for the Baystate Marathon with Cadoo
The Baystate Marathon is a Marathon/Half in Lowell, MA on Oct 18, 2026. Signing up is the easy part — showing up for every training session until race day is where most people fall off. Cadoo fixes that by turning your build-up into a money-motivated game: stake money on hitting each session, hit your goal and get paid, miss it and your stake goes to the athletes who showed up.

Your Pace Challenge training game
For an event like this, Cadoo runs a Pace Challenge game — a 16-week plan pitched at difficulty 7/10. It locks you into goal-pace efforts so race pace feels automatic on the day. Every rep, mile, and minute is verified (reps by CadooVision's AI camera check, distance and steps via Apple Health or Google Health Connect), so the money only moves on work you actually did.
Built for training crews like #RoadWarrior, #MileageClub, #PaceGoal.
