Firebird Trail Races

The Firebird Trail Races, held in Falmouth, Maine, offer challenging trail running events with distances of 13 miles, a marathon, and a 50K. The courses feature a technical 10-mile loop through Lowell Preserve and North Falmouth Community Forest, with additional loops in East Windham Conservation Area for the shorter distances. The race emphasizes community spirit and giving back, requiring participants to donate at least $20 to a non-profit of their choice.

Aid stations provide hydration and snacks, and the course is well-marked for safety. Finishers receive a unique wood-carved Firebird medal, and top runners earn awards. The event supports local trail systems and fosters a positive, inclusive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
