Course, registration and policies
The course is a counter-clockwise Back Cove loop that starts at the Back Cove soccer fields and finishes at 84 Baxter Boulevard. Registration fees vary by registration period, with published rates ranging from $26 (early) up to $39 for packet pickup and race-day registration; exact fees depend on the registration date. Packet pickup and race-day registration take place at Marathon Sports in Portland. The event has a no-refunds policy. If catastrophic weather, a public health crisis, or other extreme events prevent an in-person race, organizers will try to reschedule or convert the event to a virtual format where participants run the course independently and submit results. A free pizza buffet at Otto's Pizza (250 Read St, Portland) is listed as part of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
