The start is at the corner of Main Street and Dutton Street in Bangor and the finish is at Bangor Waterfront Park (Dutton Street entrance), just south of Geaghan’s restaurant. The full marathon runs through Bangor, out Valley Avenue to Broadway, with a turnaround in the town of Kenduskeag before returning to the waterfront finish. The half marathon follows the same course with a turnaround on outer Broadway shortly after Pushaw Road. The course profile shows about a 170-foot elevation difference from start to finish.
