Firebird Trail Races
2023-08-26 02:30 | Lowell Preserve at the Windham Fire Station
Firebird Trail Race is a challenging and wicked fun trail race with distance options of 13M, 50K & (new this year) 50M, that runs on donations, positive vibes, and a crushingly technical course in Falmouth, Maine.
Our goal is to celebrate the amazing runners community and accomplish great feats together, cheering each other to the finish, for the first time or the millionth time. Unlike other races, to compete here you must donate to a non-profit of your choice in addition to paying the low cost registration fee. Instead of some mega race conglomerate taking the profits, we ask that you pay it forward and contribute to a non-profit that aligns with your values. The donation must be made between September 4, 2022 and August 25, 2023, and we must have proof of the donation (a receipt, confirmation letter from the recipient, image of your check) by August 25, 2023 in order to confirm entry. Donations must be at least $20. Participants donated in excess of $7,000 in 2022, which is nothing short of astounding!

Megunticook Trail Festival
2023-09-09 07:00 | Camden Hills State Park, 280 Belfast Rd, Camden, ME, United States
Three Bold Trail Races in Camden, Maine
The Wicked Tough 10 is a 10K race that will test even the most accomplished runner on step singletrack with 1600 feet of vertical gain. The new Halfast 20k takes place mainly on wide gravel trail, a great introductory race for those new to trail running or for experienced racers who want to test their speed. The Megunticook 50 is a 50K that is formidable and will traverse over 90% of the trails in the park. All afford a great and intimate taste of this unique area of the country.
Megunticook 50 7:00 AM
Brutal. Beautiful. Two words that only begin to describe this event in the remote Midcoast area of Maine. It traverses over 90% of the trails of this gem with a minimum of overlap. The views along the course are stunning and even the speedy “contenders” will be tempted to stop and take them in. It’s not a race for the faint of heart. There are over 7600’ of elevation gain and the trails are steep with lots of rocks and roots. If you’re not going up or down, you’re probably off course. The cutoff time may seem generous at 11 hours, but this course will beat you up physically and mentally. And while it doesn’t have the 3000’ climbs of some of the races in the West, it has more overall vertical than most of those and would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any of them for the level of difficulty. It’s not a circuit run multiple times and there are only 3 out-and-backs of 1.7 miles, .15 mile and .5 mile. There are 6 aid stations, one of which you hit twice for a total of 6. You’ll top all 6 of the significant peaks in the park (Battie, Bald Rock, Derry, Frohock, Cameron and Megunticook), experience numerous lookouts and cross an abundance of brooks and streams along the way.
Halfast 20K 8:00 AM
New this year, the rebel Halfast 20k without as many rocks, roots and summits, is very different from our other races. A great option for someone wanting to dip their toes into the world of trail running for the first time. Alternatively, it’s a great course for a runner who wants to test their speed on a faster 20k course. Mainly on wide gravel trail, only 3.9km of this course are single track. The only summit on this course is Cameron Mountain where to the east you’ll get a view past Bald Rock Mountain to the ocean and to the west you’ll be overlooking Megunticook Lake. You’ll mostly be running on the Multi Use trail which starts as a steep ascent out of the campground and traverses to park all the way to Lincolnville. Here you’ll turn around heading a mile back the way you came before changing course and heading out to Cameron Mountain. The multi use trail is wide and (mostly smooth) but it is not flat. Beside a few short stretches you will either be heading up or down hill. The elevation gain for the whole course is 1,900 feet. There are 2 aid stations, one of which you’ll pass twice for a total of 3.
Wicked Tough 10 8:30 AM
While not an ultramarathon, this 10K is no piece of cake. The views from Battie and the shoulder of Megunticook are stunning and will come at a time when runners will be very inclined to take a short break to enjoy them. With over 1600’ of elevation gain, this course will test even the most accomplished runner. The majority of the course is on trails through the beautiful woods. But twice, you’ll break out onto open ledge and have stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal areas from Acadia to Tenant’s Harbor. This signals the end to an arduous climb and the beginning of a much-appreciated downhill section. But make sure you have your “trail eyes” well trained lest a rock or root grab your foot. Whether a competitive runner wishing to test him/herself against one of the toughest courses around or a fast-walker more interested in exploring the mountains of Mid-Coast Maine, you will find what you’re looking for in the Wicked Tough Ten.

Tucard 23 at the Watering Hole
2023-09-16 09:00 | START, 44.88765ºN, 68.67522ºW
A most unnecessarily complicated trail race and a fundraiser in support of an enduring Maine tradition, Public Access to Private Lands
TUCARD has no defined course. Just a start, an end, and some waypoints in between that change every year. At its heart it’s a trail race, but there is no one way to run or bike or canoe or hot air balloon TUCARD. The race reveals itself over the year prior to race day, with new rules adding wrinkles to the planning. The start and end points come first, the waypoint locations will be announced just before race day, and the final twist—the super secret sparkle pony rule—is designed to throw your strategy out the window.
And no matter what, your registration benefits the Orono Land Trust and helps keep public access to private lands—a Maine cultural tradition—alive and well. So, get ready to get TUCARD!!!
Register now, registration closes August 25.

Rangeley Fat Bike Loppet
2024-01-28 10:00 - 14:00 | Rangeley Lakes Trails Center, 524 Saddleback Mountain Road, Rangeley, ME
The Rangeley Fat Bike Loppet is a fat bike race/ride in the tradition of the Nordic Loppet Race, and it means different things to participants. For some it’s intense competition, for others it’s a relaxing way to spend a day outside, taking in the pristine beauty of the countryside or wilderness, and enjoying the home grown entertainment and great food and drink at the rest stops along the trail.

Weather & snow always rule the day, and our goal is to give racers a great surface upon which to race. We will avoid soft sloggy conditions to the absolute best of our ability. If the conditions permit we will mix singletrack and nordic trail into the course. As usual it will be a good time and there will be no shortage of fun.
The course takes advantage of the beautiful varied terrain we have available here at the Rangeley Lakes Trails Center, from wide straight-a-ways to gradual ascent and descents, to some aggressive hill climb/descent opportunities. Views and possible wildlife sightings are included! We have held a cross country ski marathon at this venue for the past 10+ years, drawing competitors from the east coast and beyond.
No bike? No problem! Rent and ride with us! AJ’s Fat Bikes in Rangeley is offering up fat bike rentals, first come, first served!

Portland 10-Miler
2024-04-28 08:00 - 17:00 | Edward Payson Park, 700 Baxter Boulevard, Portland, ME, United States
10 Scenic Miles

The Portland 10 Miler returns on Sunday, April 28th for its sixth running. The flat, coastal course covers ten-miles of Portland’s most beautiful roads and paths along Back Cove, Munjoy Hill and the Eastern Promenade — an exciting tour of Portland, Maine. The 2024 course has some minor changes to previous iterations in order to avoid requiring offramp closures. The new route spends more time on the most scenic part of the course, the Eastern Promenade.
Runners will follow a semi-circle along the water in Back Cove. The course follows the Back Cove trail and passes through Back Cove Park before linking up with the Eastern Promenade Trail after passing under Tukey’s Bridge and Route 295. Runners then make their way up Cutter St. from the boat ramp before turning right onto the Eastern Promenade for an out-and-back portion of the course with elevated views of Casco Bay, the islands, and Fort Gorges.
On the eastbound return along Eastern Promenade runners continue past Cutter St. and head down Fore St. towards downtown and Old Port before turning left onto Hancock St. At Hancock the course links up again with the Eastern Promenade Trail until it passes under Tukey’s Bridge again, but this time heading north over the bridge and along Back Cove for the final mile and half before finishing at Payson Park.
