Bangor Marathon Running Festival

The Bangor Marathon Running Festival is scheduled for June 13, 2027 in Bangor, Maine. The event is organized by the Maine Endurance Sports Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is USATF sanctioned and Boston certified for both the marathon and the half marathon (Marathon ME24008BK, Half ME24007BK).

The festival includes multiple race distances and a course that passes through Bangor. The full marathon follows Valley Avenue to Broadway with a turnaround in the town of Kenduskeag and returns to finish at Bangor Waterfront Park. The half marathon follows the same route with an earlier turnaround on outer Broadway shortly after Pushaw Road. Course maps are provided by the organizer.

Official timing will be provided by All Sports Events and there is no time limit for completion. Cash awards are listed for the full marathon: $1000 for first place, $500 for second place and $250 for third place in both men and women categories. Organizers offer commemorative medal programs for runners who complete specified combinations of festival races, including a Run the Highlands medal for completing Bangor and Lincoln events and a Vacationland Triple Crown for completing three of four festival races.

Participants may drop off personal bottles at the operations tent at the starting area for placement at water stations. A vendor area will be available at the finish and there is nearby parking, lodging and dining. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
