Waldoboro Half Marathon

The Waldoboro Half Marathon, held in Waldoboro, Maine, is known as one of New England's toughest road half marathons. The 13.1-mile 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 race emphasizes a "No Frills.

Just Hills." ethos, with no official water stations or on-course entertainment, requiring runners to plan their own hydration. Participants must meet qualifying standards to enter. Finishers receive a beer from Odd Alewives Farm Brewery, a finisher's medal, and a shirt from Moody's Diner.

The event is a challenging tune-up for fall races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
