Boyden Lake Half-Marathon
The event on 04/11/2027 is centered at Pottle Tree Farm on South Meadow Road in Perry, Maine. The main course is a loop around Boyden Lake and is offered in several formats to accommodate different participant choices.
Available distances:
- 13.1 miles
- 5 miles
- 2.5 miles
Formats include a Half-Marathon, a Half-Marathon Para Division that follows World Para Athletics divisions, a relay option for the half-marathon, a walk with 5 mile or 2.5 mile out-and-back routes, and a ruck option. Ruck participants must carry at least 35 pounds in a shoulder pack; they may ruck the half-marathon (maintaining at least a 15 minute per mile pace) or the 5 mile course. All ruck participants must be 14 years or older.
Course support includes four aid stations stocked with water and Gatorade. Entries include a Boyden Lake T-shirt and a finisher item for all finishers. A post-event potluck lunch is held at the Pottle Tree Farm barn; participants are invited to bring a shared dish.
Awards are given across overall gender divisions, ten year age groups, relay teams, and for walking and ruck categories. Each year the race committee dedicates the event to a local veteran. Proceeds support veteran-focused organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
