Waldoboro Half Marathon

The Waldoboro Half Marathon, scheduled for September 20, 2025, is renowned as one of the toughest road half marathons in New England, featuring a challenging course with approximately 1,400 feet of elevation gain over 13.1 miles. Runners will encounter seven significant hills, including two steep climbs in the final mile. The event embraces a DIY ethos, with no official water stations or entertainment along the route, encouraging participants to plan their hydration and support strategies.
