Race details
- Half Marathon
- 5K
The half marathon is a single-loop course that passes Casco Bay and runs through Portland’s Old Port neighborhood. The 5K is a single-loop course closed to traffic; it climbs about 75 feet in the first mile to the course high point, then descends to sea level along the waterfront and returns to the Old Port. The event provides professionally timed races, free finisher photos, and a new medal for all finishers.
Packet pickup is at Stevens Square Community Center in Portland on the Thursday and Friday before the race; there is no race-day packet pickup. Participants may add packet mailing before the stated deadline. Gear check is available in the One Portland Square Parking Lot using a clear bag; all gear must be claimed by midday. Pacer groups are provided for a range of finish times. Awards are given to top finishers overall and in specified age groups for both the half marathon and the 5K. An after party with snacks, and complimentary beer or hard seltzer for those 21+, follows the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
