I’m running 50 states and chose this race because it’s in Maine’s largest city, so I presumed that it would be well-attended, well-organized, and well-supported. I was not wrong on any of those counts. There were about 3,200 total finishers for half and full combined (~2:1 ratio). Expo went smoothly, including packet pickup. Start could have used a little more signage, public address, and volunteer guides but I managed to be in the right place at the right time. Course was hilly and somewhat scenic but not unlike what I expected, having been to the area before. Great volunteer and crowd support for a smaller city. Aid stations were plentiful but could have used a few more fuel options, especially in the back half. Technical shirt and finisher medal were both beautifully designed. Post-race food was a little on the skimpy side but beer garden was nice and showcased a lot of local/regional brews. Easy access via PWM airport and Amtrak means you can get in and out quickly, though you’ll probably want to linger and enjoy everything that coastal Maine has to offer during peak fall foliage. Definitely recommend!
