About the Maine Marathon

The Gorham Savings Bank Maine Marathon is a Maine Track Club event. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, all-volunteer Maine Track Club is Maine’s largest and most active running club. The 2023 event will be the 32nd edition – making this one of the longest running marathon events in New England.

Volunteers act as race directors as well as handle the logistics of race day, organizing the expo, helping to find sponsors and more.

The event is committed to giving back to the community through charitable giving. Since 1997, the Maine Marathon, Half Marathon and Marathon Relay and its participants have raised nearly $6,375,000 for charity. The 2023 beneficiaries are The Ecology School, Maine Children’s Cancer Program, Veggies to Table, and YMCA Camp of Maine. You can read more about the 2023 beneficiaries or see a complete list of our past charity beneficiaries.

“I want to congratulate you on another great event. It gets better each year and it’s as well a run event I have ever been part of and I have run over 40 marathons both in the US and Europe. Your volunteers work so hard and it’s a reflection on you! Great job!”
