Maine’s called Vacationland for a reason.  We’ve got pristine mountains and lakes, fields, forests and 3,500 miles of coastline. You can smell the salt sea in the air and see shooting stars above your head at night. Every corner of the state beckons you outside to enjoy its raw beauty, making Maine a haven for sports.

And for the pros, almost pros, not even close to pros and people who just like to cheer, the countless sporting events that take place here every year are a special treat. They’re a chance for everyone to enjoy, if even for a weekend, the special place we get to take in all year.

Plus with 4 seasons, Maine can host 4 times the types of events. Skiing to sailing, running to rafting, we can be the backdrop for it all. So if you’d like to get in on all Maine has to offer (be it hosting an event, planning, participating or just watching), we at the Maine Sports Commission are here to help get YOU here.

Nestled in the heart of Freeport, the Desert of Maine offers a unique and fascinating natural wonder for visitors seeking an unforgettable experience. Unlike any typical desert, its origins are a result of ancient glacial activity rather than a hot, arid climate. This extraordinary site features expansive sand dunes surrounded by lush forests, creating a striking contrast that captivates the imagination.

The Desert of Maine offers a range of activities for explorers of all ages. Guided tours provide insights into the history and geology of this peculiar landscape, making it an educational adventure for families and individuals alike. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a miniature train ride, adding a touch of whimsy to their outing.

The desert itself is a geologic curiosity that appeals to both nature enthusiasts and history buffs, offering a beautiful and rare backdrop for photography. Visitors can explore at their leisure, wandering through the sands or discovering the on-site museum that houses exhibits detailing the area's unique past.

Whether you're a curious traveler or a local seeking a distinctive day trip, the Desert of Maine presents a rare opportunity to experience nature's unpredictability and resilience. With its intriguing landscape and educational offerings, it's a destination that promises a memorable outing for anyone visiting the charming town of Freeport.

Join us for four days and three nights of running, dining, and relaxing in and around Acadia National Park. Our adventures will take us through the eastern deciduous and northern boreal forests of the park, on trails carpeted with moss and pine needles,​​ and up bald peaks with sweeping views of the surrounding islands and ocean. ​All runs throughout the retreat will be designed to accommodate various paces and abilities with multiple distance/elevation options offered (runs are also no drop, meaning we will stop and regroup as needed at various points along the trail).

​We will get the most out of the lovely weather by heading out into the heart of the park for runs each morning after breakfast. Post lunch, we will have time to rest, enjoy a yoga session or a workshop discussion, and go for a lake swim. Our retreat’s educational workshops are offered to enhance your running knowledge and experience on the trails. Before dinner we will embark on a relaxed recovery run through the nearby network of carriage trails, and in the evening we can walk downtown for a cone of delicious ice cream or sit around a campfire by the ocean with s’mores and celebrate the day’s big adventures. ​Your hosts will be on site throughout the entire weekend, to lead runs and workshops, provide local knowledge of the area, be an open book for any questions or discussions regarding trail running, and to enjoy the magical experience of sharing in the special community created through the simple and beautiful act of movement outdoors. We are so excited to meet you all!
