Why attend here

Running the Maine Marathon in October means crisp, golden foliage and the salty scent of Casco Bay as you wind along the coast—peak fall color without the summer crowds. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of clam chowder or a lobster roll at a Portland seafood shack, and take a slow stroll along the Eastern Promenade to soak in the harbor views.

Course

A rolling out-and-back along the coast: the toughest hills sit between miles 5 and 17, then the final nine miles run mostly flat or downhill back to Back Cove. Views of the Portland skyline, Casco Bay, and peak fall foliage.
