About the Augusta Marathon

The Augusta Marathon gives central Maine a full-marathon option in a festival format. It is a useful calendar fit for runners looking beyond the state's larger coastal and fall events.

Course

The event is centered on Augusta and pairs the marathon with shorter distances. Runners should expect a practical local-road setup rather than a point-to-point destination course.

Race-day weather

July in central Maine can range from comfortable morning air to humid summer running. The safest plan is to race by effort if the day turns warm.
