Lobster Crate Race Coming Up

Chief Edward Conley and the Gloucester Police Department invite residents to attend the 2025 Gloucester Lobster Crate Race on Saturday, July 26, at 10:30 a.m.

The Gloucester Lobster Crate Race, which is held in front of the Beauport Hotel at Pavilion Beach in Gloucester, sees participants competing to run across a string of lobster crates floating atop the water.

Registration to participate in the race has now closed. Anyone is welcome to attend the event as a viewer, free of cost. Runners can arrive starting at 9:30 a.m. to pick up their registration bracelets and t-shirts.

All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital. 

“The Lobster Crate Race is an exciting annual summer event, which celebrates Gloucester’s history and community. I am grateful for our Community Impact Unit’s hard work in organizing this event. I hope everyone is able to attend to cheer on the runners. I wish all the runners the best of luck!”
