What distance is this race?
The Maine Coast Half Marathon is 13.1 miles long with a good section of the race running along the Atlantic Ocean along a picture perfect sandy Beach as welll as passing through York Harbor. The course will be certified, accurate and well marked.

ARE WALKERS ALLOWED?
YES! Wallkers are very welcome to our event. All we ask is that you obey the rules of the course and walk no more than two people abreast so that others may pass easily. Walkers will start officially 30 minutes before the runners.

NOTE: if you plan to run any portion of the race at all, please register as a runner.

What is the course like?

Our course starts in a small picturesque New England harbor town, and takes a winding course first past a long sandy beach and then through very rural, rustic roads that follow a scenic Maine Harbor. This is a figure 8 loop and there are scenic views most of the course. From the start to about mile 3 you will experience flat roads to small to medium hills with the Atlantic Ocean on your left. Then the road turns back into historical downtown. You will then pass through a rural section with magestic Oak and Pine forests leading to a one mile section of a well maintained gravel road. This dirt road has very few houses on it, so you will have to be content running by century old stone walls, large hay fields, beaver ponds and mature maple, oak and pine forests. The course then travels on a bridge over York Harbor and back towards a residential section with a few medium hills. Finally the last mile brings you back directly along the Atlantic Oceans and a very flat section along a sandy beach to the finish at the High school. (Course is on roads the entire way and not actually on the beach)

Restroom facilities: For your conveniance, there will be two portapotties on the course, at mile 5.5 and just before mile 10.

WHERE ARE THE WATER STOPS

WHAT DOES CHIP TIMED MEAN?

YOU MUST WEAR A CHIP TO GET A TIME!
Each walker or runner will receive a small light “Chip” that they place onto their shoe. When you start the race you will travel over a matt that takes a reading from this chip. This records your start and finish time automatically into a computer so we can get results out to you faster. Please remember to return this chip at the end of the race.

NOTE: There is a $35 fee if you fail to return your chip.
