Megunticook Trail Festival
The Megunticook Trail Festival is a set of three trail races held in Camden Hills State Park in MidCoast Maine on Saturday, Sep 12, 2026. The event uses trails within the park and highlights Mount Megunticook, which rises 1,385 feet above sea level and offers views of Penobscot Bay and the open ocean. Entries are limited.
Distances offered include:
- 10K Wicked Tough 10: steep singletrack with 1,600 feet of vertical gain.
- 20K Halfast 20k: mainly on wide gravel trail, intended as an introductory trail distance or speed test.
- 50K Megunticook 50: traverses over 90 percent of the park trails.
The festival is held on the ancestral, unceded lands of the Wabanaki Nations and includes a land acknowledgement. All Indigenous peoples are invited to participate free of charge. When registering, participants have the option to donate to Niweskok, a Wabanaki led organization focused on food sovereignty, healing, and community connections in the Penobscot Bay region.
The event website includes a Racecation page with travel and local recommendations and lists sponsors and volunteer opportunities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
