One of the Maines's last trail races of the season! This event will provide an opportunity for both novice and experienced runners to challenge themselves in the ultra-marathon arena within a local and easily accessible park. The new picturesque East Windham Conservation in Windham, ME has been identified as the ideal setting for this exciting event. To complete the 50k race each runner will have to run a total of 5 x 6.5 mile loops. The 10k is one loop. Each loop includes almost 1000 feet of elevation gain.

Volunteers will keep track of runners progress.
Upon completion of the race, runners will receive a t-shirt. Shirt will most likely be a cotton Hanes. (I hate technical running shirts, as they smell forever after your first run in them)
Cut off for the race is 3pm.
DNF does not exist in this race! Each course loop is a 10k. For example, should you run 3 loops and decide to stop, you will receive the finished results for a 30k.
