Bold Coast Bash: Cutler, ME
The Bold Coast Bash is an autumn trail event in Cutler, Maine, offering a 50K ultra and a shorter fun run. The course follows single track along coastal cliffs and an inland section that includes mud, rocks, roots, bog bridging and unfenced cliff tops.
- 50K Ultra
- 10.5 Mile Fun Run (single loop)
The route is a figure eight with a short middle section run twice per lap. Each lap is about 16.7 km (10.4 miles); 50K entrants complete three laps and must return to the Start/Finish aid area at the end of each lap. All turns and junctions will be marked with blue surveyor flags. The only aid station is at the Start/Finish area, so runners must be self supporting on the course. Typical lap times are expected to be two to four hours.
Mandatory kit is checked at the start and before each lap. Required items include a windproof or waterproof jacket, warm mid layer, warm head covering and gloves, a foil blanket, a whistle, at least 200 calories of instant energy, and a headlamp if starting a third lap. Cell coverage is spotty; carrying a phone is optional but required for live GPS tracking.
Registration opens 1 August 2026 at 7:00am and closes 5 November 2026 at 11:59pm ET. Entry is $45. Entrants are capped to protect fragile ecosystems; wait lists open automatically when a race fills. The event does not offer refunds, though deferral to the following year is available with a 90 percent rollover if requested by October 31. Drop bags and small pop up shelters may be left in the Start/Finish area. A limited parking area 600 metres north of the trailhead is available for up to 12 vehicles with a portable toilet and no open fires.
