Bib pickup was easy with optional merchandise to purchase. Good swag, long sleeve 1/4 zip. Medal was decent. Could have doubled the amount of porta-potties at start…very long lines, but what race doesn’t? Communication and production were fantastic. Plenty of water stations. Large portions of the race had great crowd support If you’re looking for a flat course, keep looking. There’s one big hill in the first mile and a monster between miles 10 and 11. Reading past reviews, I added a lot of hills in my training, but nothing prepared me for that, especially being near the end of the race. Despite that, the scenery around Casco Bay was spectacular. If you’re looking for a half in Maine, I would definitely recommend this one. Portland is a great destination, lots of good food, breweries, and shopping. Be aware that you have to pay for parking pretty much everywhere you go.

Well-organized race. Water/aid stations were sufficient. Crowd support was decent. Long lines at the after party, so I gave my tickets away and left. The course was mostly flat, but there is a moderate hill at the end. Throw some hills into the end of your training runs and you should have no problem getting a PR with this race. The scenery was spectacular. I definitely recommend this race.
