Maine Coast Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, moderate wind, chance of rain
A cool 47°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Moderate winds around 13mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (83%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

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.
