Course Description
After a hard winter in Maine, we are itching to run long again on muddy and dirty snow-free trails. And because what’s better than a race to look forward to, we devised a way to get our fix every May. Welcome to Maine’s first 100 mile trail race, the Riverlands 100! Solo runners will do 4 laps of a beautiful 25-mile out-and-back trail at the Androscoggin Riverlands State Park in Turner, ME. The course is a little over half ATV trail that has a little of everything: river views of the Androscoggin (listen for loons!), dense forest, ups and downs, rocks and roots and hopefully some good mud. The rest is sweet single track, the best Maine offers. There is not much flat, but it has the potential to be a fast 100 for experienced ultra runners and a challenging 100 for first-timers. Thinking of making it a party? We will also be offering a 100 mile for teams of 5. Each runner must complete a 20-mile section. The teams are on the ATV trail for 80% of their 20 mile leg, with 20% single track. We have had some 4 person teams where one runner did two legs. This works, too! The Riverlands 100 is a trail race put on by experienced trail runners for people who like to push their limits. Come join us!
Aid stations are about every 5 miles along the course. Drop bags may be left at each aid station. Check out our website for more detailed information. Also be sure to like our FaceBook page; there are lots of updates and we welcome each registrant!
