Only do if you want to run a marathon in Maine

The course is nice (if hilly) but nothing special. It initially runs along the water but then heads inland with most of the course along roads in the local suburbs. Be forewarned, there are nearly no porta potties along the course! The shirt is awful. It is covered (front and back) by paste on prints. It is nearly useless for running in. (They could, of course, easily fix this by just printing everything with ink.) The post race amenities are nothing better than you might see at your local half marathon. Basically, there is nothing special about this race. Unless you have a Maine marathon on your list, I am sure you can find a race that is at least as good elsewhere.

Good destination race

Portland in early October is a great travel destination. The weather is still mild and the leaves start changing. The city is still vibrant at this time of year with plenty of activities. The course is not as difficult as advertised. There are a few steep rollers but nothing impossible if you pace yourself. Organization was top notch especially with the added precautions with Covid. Spectators were sparse along the course. There were some scenic views but overall nothing spectacular.
