Sugarloaf Marathon & 15K

The Sugarloaf Marathon & 15K, an official qualifier for the Boston Marathon, draws global runners to scenic Western Maine. Certified by USATF, it’s one of the nation's fastest courses, with 1,500 participants.

Located in the mountains of Western Maine, the Sugarloaf Marathon follows scenic Route 27 as it winds through the Bigelow Mountain range and follows alongside the Carrabassett River. The course starts in the town of Eustis, travels through Carrabassett Valley, and finishes in the town of Kingfield. The 15K race starts in Carrabassett Valley. The first 5 miles of the marathon are relatively flat, and miles 5 through 10 consist of rolling hills with two miles of steady climbing at mile 8. The last 16 miles descend gradually. 17 aid stations will be available to participants along the course.
