Bold Coast Bash - Cutler, ME
Bold Coast Bash is a trail running event in Cutler, Maine held on November 8, 2026. Distances offered include:
- 50K Ultra
- 10.5 mile Fun Run
The course is a figure eight that runs along coastal cliffs and an inland section with mud, roots, rocks, bog bridging, and unfenced cliff tops. Each lap is about 16.7 km (10.4 miles) and the 50K consists of three laps. All course turns and junctions are marked with blue surveyor flags.
There is a single aid area at the Start/Finish; there are no aid stations on the course so runners must be self-supporting for each lap. Runners must return to the Start/Finish/Aid Area at the end of every lap and 50K runners have their bib number noted by the Start/Finish marshal when leaving for subsequent laps. Lap times are expected to range from about two to four hours; the overall course time limit is 10.5 hours and runners have 6.5 hours to complete the first two laps.
Registration opens 1 August 2026 at 7:00am and is capped to protect fragile ecosystems. Entry is $45, wait lists open automatically when a race fills, and the event does not issue refunds; deferral to the next year is allowed with a 90% rollover if arranged by October 31. Mandatory equipment is checked before each lap and includes a windproof or waterproof jacket, warm mid layer, warm head covering, warm gloves, foil blanket, whistle, at least 200 calories of instant energy, and a headlamp when starting the third lap. Cell coverage is spotty and live tracking requires a phone with service. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
