Bold Coast Bash, Cutler ME
The Bold Coast Bash is a trail running event in Cutler, Maine that offers two distances:
- 50K Ultra
- 10.5 Mile Fun Run
The course is a figure-8 single track that includes coastal cliffs, rocky and rooty trail, mud, bog bridging, and some unstable sections. Each lap is about 16.7 km (10.4 miles); the 50K is three laps. All turns and junctions are marked with blue surveyor flags. Runners must return to the Start/Finish area at the end of each lap and have mandatory equipment checked before each lap.
There is only one aid station located at the Start/Finish area. Runners must be self-supporting on course and should expect each lap to take roughly two to four hours. Time limits include 6.5 hours to complete the first two laps and a total course time limit of 10.5 hours.
