Bold Coast Bash Trail Race

One of 10 Maine Races to Run Before you Die!
"One of the most beautiful race courses in the Northeast"

A seriously challenging single track trail race along the stunning cliffs of the Bold Coast together with an inland section through mud and rocks and along slippery bog bridging.

The Course does not have huge amounts of elevation change but can be extremely slippery, particular with rain and ice as there may be on race day. The roots are slippery, the rocks are slippery, the mud is slippery, the bog bridging is extremely slippery, and some of it is also wobbly, broken, unstable and in many places has 6” long nails projecting from it. Other sections behave like a teeter-totter and if you (or someone else) steps on one end, the other end, may flip up in someone’s face. Please be careful on them – and along the unfenced cliff tops!

The course is a figure 8 with a short middle section run twice on each lap. Each lap is about 16.7 kms (10.4 miles). Please pay attention to which loop you are on. You must return to the Start/Finish/Aid Area at the end of each lap. 50K runners must ensure their bib number is noted by the Start/Finish marshal on setting out on their second and third laps. All course turns and junctions will be well marked with blue surveyor’s flags.
