Nice small town race. Hilly.
I ran this one because I needed a Maine marathon for 50 states, and this fit into our summer vacation schedule. Otherwise, I'd pick a more scenic race for Maine. … MORE
I ran this one because I needed a Maine marathon for 50 states, and this fit into our summer vacation schedule. Otherwise, I’d pick a more scenic race for Maine. Overall, this race was fine. It’s 2-loops of a very rolling course. On a warm day, I was toast after the 1st loop. It’s not a PR/BQ kind of course.
Pros: The singlet instead of a shirt was nice! Anything different is always welcome! Having the indoor space to relax pre-race was nice as well. In addition, the post-race massage was fantastic.
