2021 Gorham Savings Bank Maine Marathon

A Maine Track Club Event

Run with us Sunday, October 3, 2021, 7:45 a.m.

After a virtual-only event in 2020, the 2021 Gorham Savings Bank Maine Marathon, Half Marathon, and Relay returns to an in-person event, featuring an out-and-back course with rolling hills and views of the Portland skyline, the Back Cove, Casco Bay, and peak fall foliage. The Marathon is USATF certified and a Boston Marathon qualifier. The Half Marathon is also USATF certified and the Marathon Relay is a unique 2 to 4-person marathon-length event.

We will continue to offer our virtual race option, which, in addition to the full, half and relay, includes a 5K and 10K, so all can enjoy this race safely wherever they may be. We’re also committed to providing as much certainty as we can in these constantly changing times, which is why we have a refund policy if your — or our — plans change.

Registration for the 2021 Gorham Savings Bank Maine Marathon is now open.
