About the race
The Waldoboro Half Marathon, held in Waldoboro, Maine, is renowned as one of New England's toughest road half marathons. Covering 13.1 miles, the course features approximately 1,400 feet of elevation gain, with 45% of the route uphill and seven hills exceeding a 10% gradient, including two in the final mile. The challenging terrain demands strategic pacing and self-managed hydration, as there are no official water stations.
Participants must meet qualifying standards to enter, ensuring readiness for the race's difficulty. Finishers receive a beer from Odd Alewives Farm Brewery, a finisher's medal, and a shirt from Moody's Diner. The event embraces a "No Frills.
Just Hills." ethos, focusing on the pure challenge of the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
