Flat course. Water stations every few miles, gatorade at the last few. Well organized.
They didn’t have chip timing (which I don’t mind), but it still seemed accurate compared with my Garmin time.
Packet pick up was the morning of the race 7-9am. Race start at 9. I liked the later start because of the warmer temps!
I didn’t stay in town, but there were plenty of cheap, off-season rates right on the ocean.
The packet pick up area was in the Brunswick. Family can wait and have drinks while you run! Usually this is in March, so it is very cold, but the day it was postponed to was low 60s and sunny! We enjoyed drinks on the deck outside after.
I would definitely do this again! If I would have been more prepared I could have had a great PR!

The good things about this race- Nice location, good pre and post race snacks. Nice post race food! The cost was extremely reasonable. The negatives of this race- if you are in it for the swag DON’T SIGN UP for this race! The medal was a generic 13.1 with a sticker on the back with the race name and date. If you want a shirt you have to pay extra for it. This was nothing exciting about this race! There was no arch or music to get you pumped up at the start. We just lined up in the street and they blew it horn.
Nice beach town
A nice course running near the boardwalk in Portland, ME. Pretty flat course and plenty of water, etc along the way. Well run production by everyone involved. Will certainly come … MORE
