Maine Marathon 2026
The Maine Community Bank Maine Marathon is a running event on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Portland, Maine. It is organized by the Maine Track Club and will be the 35th edition. The event features a marathon, a half marathon, and a marathon relay.
The course is described as scenic, with rolling hills, ocean views, and autumn foliage. All races start and finish along Baxter Boulevard in Portland's Back Cove area. The city of Portland is noted for its food, art, and historic charm.
A core part of the event's mission is charitable giving. Since 1997, the races have raised nearly $9 million for various beneficiaries. In 2025, the event donated over $793,000 to charity, which represented 40% of its revenue. The event relies on over 900 volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
