Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to find parking and pick up your race bib, especially if you plan to participate in the 8:30 AM start time.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as late November in Maine can be chilly. Your ugly sweater should be festive, but comfort is key for the run.
- Consider the 'SignUp Fee' when budgeting, as it's in addition to the base race fee.
- If you're looking for a competitive race, aim for the earlier start time. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, the later start times offer a relaxed atmosphere.
- Don't forget to check the 'Results' and 'Photos' tabs after the event to relive the fun and see how you and others did!
