I thoroughly enjoyed this race. This out and back course tours the best of greater Portland, including the Back Cove area and the surrounding harbor. With much of the race along the water and through residential areas, the course was scenic and well supported. Although some rolling hills, I thought this was a very manageable race for newer runners and more experienced marathoners alike. Maine in the fall is incredible, and the weather could not have been more hospitable for running. A well-managed and enjoyable race.
