This course winds through one of Boothbay Region Land Trust Preserves on our peninsula and takes place in a wooded nature preserve. The scenery and natural surroundings are beautiful, and the terrain is well maintained, with slight to moderate elevation. Please be aware this is a wooded trail, and most ideal for trail runners and/or walkers.

Parking and other Race Day details will be included in confirmation email.

Race Tees are guaranteed to those who register by August 19th. Online Registration ends on September 4th at midnight.
HALF MARATHON
This course offers miles of water views, from inner harbor, to open ocean, to lakes and tidal rivers. It crosses over two islands and a historic footbridge. It passes by three ocean-side parks, (perfect for spectators), and through our waterfront harbor village. This course does have considerable elevation in some areas and is not a flat run. Near the beginning of the course, runners will be directed through a wooded, unpaved area on a Boothbay Region Land Trust Trail for about 1 mile before returning to a paved road course. The course time limit for the half-marathon is 3.5 hours, as after 3.5 hours there will no longer be course support or direction.

This is a picturesque and iconic coast of Maine experience that will inspire you to crest the hills. This is an ideal training course and the perfect race to plan a family vacation around with many local festivities taking place during Harbor Fest.

Parking and other Race Day details will be included in confirmation email.
