Firebird Trail Races
Firebird Trail Races take place in Windham, Maine on August 22, 2026. The event offers multiple distance options:
- 13M: one 10 mile loop plus a 5k loop
- Marathon: two laps of the 13M course
- 50K: three 10 mile loops
The course is a 10 mile loop through Lowell Preserve and North Falmouth Community Forest, with mostly single-track trails, rocks and roots. All events start and finish in Lowell Preserve at the Windham Fire Station. The 13M adds trails in the East Windham Conservation Area.
There are two aid stations, located at the start/finish and at the five mile turnaround. Both stations provide water, soda, chips, candy and an electrolyte drink mix. Volunteers will staff the stations and runners may leave drop bags at one or both locations.
The course will be marked with high visibility pin flags, directional arrows and signs indicating left, right and wrong way. A Strava route is available. Each participant receives a wood carved Firebird medal and there is an option to purchase additional race apparel. Top non binary, male and female finishers in each distance receive awards.
This is a grassroots event that donates a portion of proceeds to local trails. Participants are asked to donate at least $20 to a nonprofit between 8/25/2025 and 8/21/2026 and to provide proof of donation. Event management does not issue refunds.
