"Excellent New England race" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I ran this race 10/1/2000. There were about 500 marathon runners. The course is well designed with a few hills which keeps the race interesting but not difficult. Traffic isn't closed on much of the course but the traffic, runners, and volunteers all cooperate with each other. The crowds aren't huge, but as the race goes past various neighborhoods people come out to sit at the entrance of subdivisions and cheer you on. Water/power drinks were plentiful every two miles. Showers were available after the event at the University of Southern Maine. Very well organized race and everyone from the runners to the volunteers to the citizens of Portland, Maine seemed to enjoy the event. I highly recommend this race. The course will be modified for 2001 to cut out some of the hills. | |

"Well organized marathon and a fairly challenging c" (about: 1994)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 The present course has quite a few hills, the course is moderately scenic, but not as scenic as it could be considering what a beautiful coastline Maine has. The race is put on by the Maine Track Club and is well organized. Medals to all finishers. The course is scheduled to change in 2001 to an out and back course, and is supposed to be less hilly & more scenic. Overall, it is a quality marathon & the City of Portland and its Old Port section make for a nice weekend away. The Casco Bay Half Marathon starts at the same time as the marathon & finishes in the same location. |
