Details
Open to runners, walkers and wheelchair participants alike, the
Peak Performance Maine Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay features
an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Portland's Back
Cove, along its scenic inner bay area. Along the way, participants are
treated to views of nearby Falmouth's Mackworth Point (just north of
Mackworth Island) and many stately homes and neighborhoods.
Limited to 2,800 participants (for both races), the half marathon
course includes a few small, rising hills between the 5th and 7th
miles, after which the race returns to a mostly flat course, crossing
the scenic Martin's Point Bridge on the way back to the finish.
