Millinocket Marathon & Half

The Millinocket Marathon & Half is a grassroots running event held annually in Millinocket, Maine, known for its community spirit and free entry, though donations are encouraged to cover race expenses. Established in 2015 to support the local mill town after economic hardship, the race features USATF-certified marathon and half-marathon courses that qualify for major marathons like Boston and New York. Organized entirely by volunteers, the event celebrates Maine’s Katahdin Region and the North Woods lifestyle.

The race starts and finishes in downtown Millinocket, offering a unique opportunity to run through this historic area while supporting local charities and community resilience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
