Waldoboro Half Marathon

The Waldoboro Half Marathon, scheduled for September 20, 2025, is renowned as one of the toughest road half marathons in New England. The course features approximately 1,400 feet of elevation gain over 13.1 miles, including seven significant hills, making it a challenging experience for participants. Emphasizing a DIY approach, the event lacks traditional amenities like water stations and entertainment, encouraging runners to plan their hydration and support strategies.

Finishers are rewarded with a beer from Odd Alewives Farm Brewery, along with a finisher's medal and shirt. A qualifying standard is required to ensure participants are adequately prepared for the demanding course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
