Race Info
The Maine Coast Marathon starts at Lafayette’s Oceanfront Resort on Wells Beach and finishes at Wells Harbor Community Park. It's a primarily flat course featuring coastal views, marshes, and boardwalks, with notable landmarks like the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge along the way. Runners tackle around 232 meters of elevation gain and a special timed segment called "Maine Mile Madness" between miles 10 and 11 adds a competitive twist.
