Millinocket Marathon & Half

The Millinocket Marathon & Half is a unique grassroots running event held in Millinocket, Maine, designed to support the local community following the closure of its major employer. Established in 2015, this race encourages participants to run not for material rewards but to contribute to the town's revitalization. While there is no formal entry fee, runners are strongly encouraged to make a donation to cover essential race expenses and support local charities.

The event is organized entirely by volunteers, emphasizing community spirit and support. The next race is scheduled for December 7, 2024. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
