About the race
The Blueberry Cove Half Marathon is Midcoast Maine’s 15th annual half marathon held on August 23, 2026, at Blueberry Cove 4-H Camp in Tenants Harbor, Maine. The event is a fundraiser: registration is $100 and all proceeds support UMaine Cooperative Extension 4-H Camp & Learning Centers at Tanglewood & Blueberry Cove. Entry is limited to 250 runners and walkers and race fees are non-refundable. The course is a 13.1-mile circumnavigation of the lower St.
George peninsula. The first half follows rural back roads with quiet coves and gentle hills; the second half offers ocean views and passes Port Clyde, Marshall Point Lighthouse, Drift Inn Beach, and other coastal landmarks. Mile markers are placed for all 13 miles and finish times are recorded. On-site amenities and race-day logistics include bib pick-up the day before and on race morning, hydration stations approximately every two miles, bathrooms at the start and finish plus four porta-potty locations along the route, and limited shower facilities at the camp.
A post-race buffet brunch is provided and awards are presented during the brunch. Awards are given to first-place male and female overall and in age divisions: 18 & under, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 plus. All participants receive a finisher medal.
Rustic cabin and tent lodging options are available on site for an additional fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
