About the Lincoln Running Festival Marathon
Lincoln gives northern Maine a small-field marathon run by the nonprofit Maine Endurance Sports Alliance. The event favors runners chasing a time on a quiet course, and the no-time-limit policy keeps it open to walkers and first-timers as well.
Course
From the corner of West Broadway and Main Street, the route heads south along Route 2 toward Enfield on a flat, straight stretch of rural highway. Turns are minimal, which keeps the course honest for pacing, and the certified route supports Boston qualifying times.
Race-day weather
Late September in northern Maine usually means crisp starts in the 40s and finishes in the 50s or low 60s. Humidity is low by that point in the year, and conditions tend to favor fast running more than most summer dates in the region.
