Maine Marathon and Coastal Running Highlights
Maine’s running scene offers spectacular events that leverage the state's famous landscapes. One of the region's premier endurance tests is the Maine Marathon in Portland, which also includes a Half Marathon and Marathon Relay. It's a Boston Marathon qualifier and consistently draws runners looking for a fall classic experience. The course is known for its rolling hills, scenic loop around the city, and the strong community support from the Maine Track Club, which hosts the non-profit event and channels a significant portion of registration fees toward local charities.
For those drawn to the rugged beauty of the Atlantic, the Mount Desert Island Marathon (MDI) is a must-do event. Often voted as one of the best marathons in the Northeast, the course is set against the stunning backdrop of Acadia National Park, including views of Somes Sound, the only fjord on the Eastern Seaboard. Runners tackle rolling terrain and seaside vistas, making it North America's premier destination road race, especially beloved for its picturesque fall foliage.
Beyond the marathons, the Southern Maine coastline hosts other highly-regarded races. The Maine Coast Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K in Wells and Ogunquit provides a less hilly, true coastal experience, with long stretches near pristine marshes and sandy beaches. Meanwhile, the Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon and 5K in Portland offers a deep dive into the city's historic heart, winding through the charming cobblestone streets and past the vibrant working waterfront of the Old Port district.
