Make a splash at the Maine Coast Marathon, Half Marathon & 5k in Wells, ME! Join the excitement of this scenic, coastal running experience and race along the waves on the Half Marathon on Saturday before preparing for the running of the Full Marathon & 5K on Sunday! Complete with sparkling coastlines, white-sand beaches, and pristine marshes, the course is the perfect way to experience some of Maine’s most breathtaking natural beauty.
The Maine Coast Marathon is a gorgeous point-to-point course that features some of the most breathtaking coastal views in Kennebunk, Wells, and Ogunquit including pristine marshes, miles of sandy beaches, glimmering dunes, and the occasional rocky ledge outcropping. The entire course sits just above sea level with no significant hills.
Participants may take a shuttle bus or get dropped off at the race start at Kennebunk High School. At Mile 1 you’ll run through the town of Kennebunk and past elegant 19th century sea captains’ homes. From Mile 6 to 7.25 you’ll run along the coastline past Gooch’s Beach, Middle Beach, and Mother’s Beach.
After crossing into the town of Wells at Mile 10, the course passes through the pastoral Wells Reserve at Laudholm, down its 0.6 mile Barrier Beach Trail to the coastline again, and through the Drake’s Island community. Once in the town of Ogunquit at Mile 20, you’ll cross over a boardwalk footbridge to a sandy pathway along the edge of dunes, and then begin a continuous 3.5 mile journey up along the coastline. Throughout the last 6 miles you’ll witness amazing views of marshes that are all part of the Wells Reserve and Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, and stretches of the Atlantic Ocean. The race finishes in the Wells Harbor Community Park.
The Maine Coast Half Marathon course passes through the towns of Wells and Ogunquit, and features scenic views typical of southern Maine’s coastline: pristine marshes, miles of sandy beaches, glimmering dunes, and the occasional rocky ledge outcropping. The entire course sits just above sea level with no significant hills. The race starts at the northern tip of a peninsula with spectacular views of Wells Harbor on three sides. You’ll warm up in the first 4.5 miles heading straight down the shoreline with views of the Atlantic on your left and marshes on your right. Before heading inland you’ll run along the edge of dunes on a sandy pathway and then onto a wooden boardwalk and over a footbridge. As you head back north you’ll repeat the pattern crossing over the estuary six times with amazing views of marshes that are all part of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. The race finishes in the Wells Harbor Community Park.
The Maine Coast 5K course features the best scenic views that southern Maine’s coastline has to offer: sandy beaches, rocky ledge outcroppings, and pristine marshes.

Beautiful race showcasing the coastline of Maine! I love the start line of the race, but it was challenging to get to with bussing, which resulted in some delay for the beginning of the race. I appreciated the course being run along the beautiful coast, the route was great. The finish area was also challenging to get in and out of, especially for spectators but all of this seems to be due to the growing interest in the race, which is good. It was chilly, but I’m sure this is most likely the best time to hold this event before the tourism influx.

The race was well organized and decent for a small local race. The first 4 miles and last 3-4 along the coast and near the water were really nice, but the vast majority was boring, boring back roads. The half course looked nicer with more water time, which was a bummer as a full runner.
I stayed close to the bus, so was able to walk. Transport to start was easy, staging area was well organized, and finish party was fun (though more food options would have been nice).
Crowds were shockingly good for a small race. There were a few areas with pretty big crowds, but support was consistent throughout the race as a ton of people would see their runner and drive ahead over and over.
Not a bad race, if I lived nearby, but probably wouldn’t do again.

I was very nervous after reading last year’s reviews of the pretty terrible bus situation. I made sure I got to the college in plenty of time and it was an easy ride to the start line. The bus back did take a lot longer than I thought was Acceptable but it didn’t ruin my experience. We probably waited 35 minutes for a bus was very nice. Suggestions for next year would be more buses. Also more food at the finish line. I was looking for granola bars or chips or something like that. I didn’t want Pizza.

This was my first marathon and it was a great experience. Communication before the event was clear and accurate. Got a nice zip up sweat shirt in the mail with my bib before the race. Getting to the start was easy as my wife was able to park at the starting line, but it filled up fast and most people needed to take a shuttle, which was all communicated. The first 5 miles of the race was very scenic along the coast, however most of the race was along roads that were not very scenic. The last 4 miles were also very scenic. I wish more of the race was on the coast, especially with a name like “Maine Coast Marathon” but it was a fine enough route and it was very clearly marked. The spectators were great. The finish line was fun. The announcer they had at the start and finish was so hype and fun. Nice looking swag and medal. I had a great time at the race especially because it was my first marathon and I was so excited I completed it. I’m sure there are more scenic marathons out there but this was a very solid race that was very well run.

I enjoyed this half marathon, which was flat and ran along the ocean for the first few miles. Getting to the start involved catching a shuttle at one of several places. There were shuttles to take you back also.
There was beer, pizza and ice cream for the finisher’s, along with a decent medal. Registrants also received a long sleeve hooded t-shirt. Packet pickup was at the park where the finish line was located.
Water stops were adequate with good crowd support along the course.

Having run this multiple times now, a) some credit due to the organizers for fixing a few of the persistent problems (in 2023, it started over 40 minutes late because of the busses; there was basically no water at the finish line; and the gear check was terrible). b) however, the race this year still started late (only 15 minutes, but that was enough that I nearly pissed/shit myself at mile 12), and more importantly the half-marathon is STILL wildly mismeasured (over a quarter-mile long). I get the geography and 5k running at the same time limits options, but they refuse to acknowledge this is an issue, avoid mention that the half isn’t USATF certified on their site (though the full is), and have just totally buried their heads in the sand about this.
Also, the race emcee is the most annoying and obnoxious human being on earth. Great swag, though, and the post-run beers and food are great (even if it feels weird to crush two beers and a pizza at 9:00 am).

This is a race produced by Loco Races that takes place on the Southern Maine Coast about 20-30 minutes from the NH border. It is a little over an hour drive from where I live so it is pretty local. I was initially not going to get a hotel until I looked at the race logistics of both this and Revel White Mountain and just how early I would need to get up both days and last minute booked a room at the Holiday Inn in Wells. It was actually fairly cheap for a hotel for race weekend in Maine. Since I initially though I wasn’t getting a hotel I opted to have my packet mailed. There was good pre-race communication and good updates about when the packet was mailed and when to expect it. I received it over a week early and it included bib and shirt. The shirt is a sweatshirt with a really nice design but the material is a bit cheap and it runs very small. If (this is a big if) I do this race again I would get it 2 sizes up. Race day morning is kind of a mess as there are multiple different shuttle options. This is partly on me but I was on call last week and the Revel race starts crazy early so I did sleep as late as possible but race morning was a mess. I realized the runner drop off which is the 5K start and is about 1 mile from the half marathon start and has a shuttle was only half a mile from my hotel so I decided to walk and take shuttle and if line was long just walk to the start. It was not clear if there was a shuttle from the finish back to the runner drop off but there was a parking lot under a mile from my hotel so I thought it’d be easier to not deal with parking. Not sure if that was the right call or not. I got to the runner drop off area and there was a huge shuttle line so I just walked to the start and got there a few minutes before the race. It worked out as there were some porta potties on the walk so I didn’t have to wait in the huge lines. The shuttles did seem a mess and the race started 20 minutes later which I suppose is better than the 40 minutes late last year but it still not good especially as I had plans in NH that afternoon. The race had pacers to help line up but no corrals. The beginning of the race was a bit tight but it was on a closed road and everyone was able to spread out really quickly. I will talk about what I loved for the race which was the course. The course is a point to point and a lot of it runs right by the water. There were some beautiful views. Some of it also runs through the town which is a cute beach town. It was definitely a top 10-20% course in terms of scenery and my favorite course I’ve done in Maine even if it wasn’t my favorite race in terms of production. The course is also pretty flat. I will give a warning it is “Maine flat.” Maine is a very hilly state and this was much flatter than the other races I’ve done in Maine but did have about 300 feet of elevation gain and a couple smaller hills. I actually like this elevation profile but a few runners from flatter areas of the country I spoke with were surprised by the hills. The course was either on closed or coned off roads and there was adequate police support and course marshals. There was not adequate aid stations though. I think there was only 5 and 3 of them ran out of gatorade and one ran out of cups by the time I arrived. The course has stated 3:15 time limit and I pushed myself to stay under the time limit. The race however was not strict about the time limit and the course was not being torn down before I finished which was good. Now let’s get to one of my biggest issues which was the finish. So I was pacing myself perfectly for a just under 3:15 time limit. I know courses are typically a bit longer than 13.1 miles to get certified and that if you don’t do the tangents perfect you will end up running over 13.1 but I timed myself using the mile markers. The mile marker seemed accurate as I made mile 13 with around 13.1 miles on my Garmin and about 3-4 minutes to spare and was happy as I knew I could run 0.1 miles in 3-4 minutes. However I did run 0.1 miles and the finish line was nowhere in sight so I ran another 0.1 miles and still no finish line and someone says it’s just around the corner. Finally after about 0.35 miles past the 13 mile marker I make it to the finish but sadly ended up over 3:15 as I did not account for the extra 0.25 miles in my race strategy. My Garmin said I rain 13.45 miles. This was so frustrating to run a race perfectly to get a goal time and miss it by under a minute because the course is 0.25 miles long. Luckily as I said they weren’t strict and I got a finishing time but I really wanted under to get under 3:15. This was definitely not a tangent issue and even if it was then the earlier mile markers were incorrect as there is no way I did the tangents so bad I added a quarter mile after the 13 mile marker. The medal though is really nice and mermaid themed and I really liked the after party. There was a ton of people still there even with my slower finish. There was also pizza, ice cream, granola bars and bananas. Luckily there was cheese pizza and plenty of food left as I did not have time for lunch with the late start. Then there was the trek back to the hotel. As I said my plan was to take the shuttle to the nearest parking lot to my hotel. However the shuttle line was insane. I looked at how long a walk it would be and it was 2 miles and I would get to my car exactly the time I needed to if I walked and I couldn’t risk the shuttle as I may be late for my afternoon plans. Overall I will say I loved the course but there were 3 very big and very fixable issues which were the shuttles, running out of supplies at aid station, and the course being too long. I really think the race needs to reconsider the number of runners, the start time, or the start/finish location. I did really love the course and this is a convenient race location for me but I’m not sure I would do it again unless they fix these things. Next year I am registered for Indy Mini and Flying Pig this weekend so I will not be running this race but I will see what the reviews say for this race next year and maybe consider it in 2026 if they fix these issues. Overall even though I thought this course was better, I would recommend the Maine Half Marathon in Portland in October for 50 staters as the logistics were much better worked out.

I think this is a fine local race, but not one I would travel to. I don’t think it’s logistically at the point where it can handle 2000 runners for the half.
The 5k and half were both on Saturday. They have different start lines. There were 4 different locations for runners to park at in the morning and get shuttled to the start. Traffic was a nightmare for the buses, and not all the bus drivers knew what start line was which. The bus I was on told us we were getting off at the half start and it ended up being the 5k. The race ended up starting 20 minutes late because buses were still dropping runners off at the start.
The course along the ocean was pretty. It was mostly flat, maybe 2 noticeable hills. The water stops seemed fairly random and weren’t as frequent as most other races. I don’t remember seeing nutrition at any of them, but I could have missed it. Porta potty stops seemed infrequent. I think most along the coast were meant for construction workers.
The mile markers seemed pretty accurate until mile 13. It was off by maybe .1 (not a big deal). But then from the mile marker to the finish was another quarter mile… wouldn’t have kicked so early if I had known!
I think the half and 5k got the same medal. Some differentiation would be nice. The race shirt was a hooded long sleeve shirt.
I didn’t stick around for anything at the finish due to the late start and having to be shuttled back to the parking lots. They did have a bag drop, however when you picked up the bag at the finish, they were all just randomly spread out on the lawn. No order, so you had to hope to come across your number with hundreds of other bags to sift through.
Most of the negatives are things that can be fixed, and hopefully they will be if the race director wants this to be a huge race. As of now I wouldn’t recommend this race to anyone that has to travel to it (50 staters), however it’s a fine, small local race.

The best MC – Michael Bernier is always a treat!
Race morning shuttles could use some tweaking. Also, have bathrooms at shuttle lots. The last 5 busses arrived 10 mins before the start and the bathroom lines were already so long. Race started a few minutes late, but it was better than last year from what I hear! The shuttles add a lot of stress and confusion but it’s worth having the course start and finish on the ocean!

I’m going to break this one down:
Packet pickup was easy and they were really accommodating with swag changes
Parking at the school was easy but we did get there early. The race it self takes you down the coast for 5 miles before zigzagging you back through a beautiful beach town. Now for the down side: The race started 40 min late due to parking and shuttle bus planning. The course is about a 1/4 mile long and when getting to the finish area the lines to get post race food were very long. With the late start and the weather I would have liked to see more aid stations on course, There were 5.
Note the race directors have sent out an email saying that they are making plans to improve these issues for next year.

Leading up to the race, the website was a little sketchy and it was hard to reach anyone via email due to the wrong info posted. Once I finally got through to the correct email, they were very helpful and told me everything I needed to know. In the future they should hopefully update the website so there is less confusion.
On race day, everything was right on time, directions, or easy to understand, and even though I ran slow, there was course support throughout the entire marathon. It was unseasonably warm, but the aid stations had plenty of water, and luckily there were lots of beautiful scenery.
The windbreaker was pretty awesome and the metal will look good with my other states

Ran the May 6, 2023 half marathon. The race sweatshirts are sleek, but the sizes run small, and race organizers refused to allow runners to change sizes. Runners are shuttled from the junior high school to the start. Race was set to start at 0700. We were told about every 5-10 minutes that it would be a “few more minutes,” we are “waiting for the last few buses.” The race started at 0740. There are a few small hills along the course. Most of the race is run through neighborhoods and along a busy road. A portion of the race runs along the coastline. Some of the aid stations have people handing out gatorade underneath the “water” banner and people handing out water underneath the “sports drink” banners. At the end of the race, we waited over an hour for the gear check vehicle to bring the gear because it was “stuck in traffic.” We were given an extra beer ticket to use while we waited. No one announced when the gear finally arrived and there was no banner designating the gear pick up area at the busy and crowded finish area. Shuttles took people the 1.1 mile drive back to the junior high school from the finish line. We opted to walk, as the shuttle line was about a quarter mile long, and the buses were loading and departing very slowly. Several days later, the official race times have not been posted for runners.

The course was nice, flat and fast, and the volunteers were great. The logistics were a bit off. They bussed you from a school to the start line, except there wasn’t any parking at the school. Then there weren’t enough busses for the amount of people. The race started 40 minutes late. The finish line was chaos. They handed you a medal and you had to stand inline for a cup of water you poured yourself. They had plenty of room to setup a water station were you kept walking and grabbed a couple of cups. The only other issue was the gear check. The vehicle transporting the gear from the start wasn’t there at the end of the race, and you had to wait around for it. The rest of the after race festival was great, live music with an open field with bench’s and cold beers.
The race itself was great, and with a few little corrections the whole experience could be as well.

Arriving at the race, traffic was a nightmare so give yourself plenty of time! The logistics of parking around the UNE campus were a mess. The race ended up starting late but was well supported along the course with plenty of water, snacks, and cheers. The route is gorgeous and most of it is right on the water. If you are looking for a scenic race in Maine, this one fits the bill!

We drove over 1600 miles (one way) to run on the Maine Coast and it was a great experience! The scenery was beautiful, not as much ocean views as I expected! The course was challenging but not a killer. The communication was good and the volunteers were friendly. Were there hiccups? Yes. But as this was my 6th marathon I’ve at least had a little experience to guide my impressions.
The shuttle buses were right where they were supposed to be and seemed ready to take runners even AFTER the published last depart of 6:30. Not sure HOW but two half marathon runners accidentally ended up on a bus to the full start- might need more volunteers checking the runners getting on the bus?? Anyway when we got over to the school there was a big backup of traffic so our driver let us out to walk over. Thank goodness because the lines at the portable toilets were HORRENDOUS!!! We waited and I stressed, and some runner or volunteer (not sure which) started suggesting/reminding that there are portapotties available at mile one, which to me is NOT a solution. I managed to finally get in one and of COURSE it had an issue. One roll was empty 👎🏻 but the other was full 👍🏻 the full one was a disaster 👎🏻 because someone before loading it had taken the loose end and wrapped it 3+ times through the center cardboard so I had to hold back the sliding plastic door, claw at the “tied” paper trying to tear through the layers to find a loose end. When I got one and pulled against the plastic case to tear it, the whole plastic casing popped open and fell towards me. It had been zip tied closed?? I couldn’t get it back up. All this happening while I KNOW the race is going to start without me.Eventually I got out and I was ALONE. I ran to the start. I did NOT miss it. I heard the anthem. I heard the conch shell. So it worked out. But it was a stressor that didn’t need to exist.
Like many other people I went out faster than I intended, but I corrected that by stopping and taking pictures! This race was just “to finish” for me. To check the Maine box in a list of 50 states. I wish there was more running by the ocean, but I appreciated the villages also. The crowds were not overwhelming but they were friendly and supportive. I enjoyed the trombone player around mile 16. I hope someone tells him! The RaceJoy app was a great touch, it was for the most part pretty accurate (it announced to me every mile where I was, my mile split, my average pace, and my projected finish time!! And getting cheers from my family and friends back home through the app was brilliant!!
I walked a bit around mile 20-21.5 with a younger guy who was struggling, but when I realized he wasn’t going to regroup I knew I wasn’t ready to walk the last 5 miles!! I struggled with some calf cramping and a revisit of a weird quad cramp that I’ve gotten in other races. I carried gels and I carried water (NO gels were offered on the course-they had other food instead). I ate the peanut butter pretzels offered. I would have had watermelon chunks but it was long gone when I got there?? By mile 25 I was running low on steam. I drank the Gatorade but was swaying a bit and medical started to approach me. I appreciate that they were watching closely, but I was not ready to give up. I appreciate even more that she honored my hand- holding her off as I restarted and pushed through the last mile and some.
At the finish it was hard to tell where to go! It looked like two chutes which made sense to me (half/full) but no one told me where to go until i asked. When I entered the chute and got across the line I was given a water bottle (as promised) but the water was NOT cold as they promised. I was given a medal that was not specific to my accomplishment (half and full medals were the same). I then had to find my way to food (not terribly difficult but I mentioned I was flagging by that point) luckily a friend found me at the finish and pushed pretzels into my hands. I think the finish area could use some work. Gatorade bananas pretzels should be immediate. Other stuff like beer and ice cream can be Festival food stuffs. But immediate needs should be addressed immediately.
I got my cookies. I ate pretzels. I had a half bagel with peanut butter. But I did NOT get my beers. They ran out. I read somewhere that it was a big mixup and more came out later after I left. I did get ice cream and they were EXTREMELY kind to tell Runners their ticket would be honored at their SHOPS as they had run out of all but one flavor. I ate my Cuban coffee and LOVED IT! I took pictures. I relaxed. I enjoyed the sun whenever the wind was not freezing my sweat! My brother hasn’t run Maine yet (he had Lincoln, NE the weekend before and Fargo, ND next weekend). I will recommend this one to him and maybe come back when he does. But otherwise this one will not be a repeat for me because of location. But I think it is a good value and a decent experience for other runners.

Overall Rating: Really good, with room to improve.
Course Difficulty: constant rolling hills and all paved surfaces. Fairly challenging.
Course Scenery: Off the charts. Outstanding!
Race Production: You’ll have to decide: no shirt with race purchase, packet pickup was a breeze, lots of pre race info, tracking app that didn’t work for many people on the course, first announcement at the start line was that there would be no aid stations for the first 8 miles, aid stations didn’t really have any type of fuel, aid station volunteers were really good. Some really major issues, but also some gold stars.
Race Swag: Nice medal, but again, no shirt with entry.
My Performance: It was ok. About what I expected for the second day of a double.
A really beautiful course with lots of support. There is room for improvement, but if I needed a check mark by Maine, I would definitely consider this one.

I love this course and this race. I was on pace for a PR and at mile 8 my mind took over, and before I knew it I was way off! Sooo, I’ll be back at it next year because now I’m pissed! Lol! If you haven’t done this race I think you’ll really enjoy it. Great people, awesome scenery and a fairly easy course to run, even when your head takes over!

I don’t want to knock the entire race because a volunteer mistakenly sent us down a dead end, adding half a mile. But, that’s what I most remember about the race – that and how wet and windy it was. I added another state and collected another BQ, but I am left wondering how many minutes I lost doing that out and back that shouldn’t have been.
