Description

This year’s race is scheduled for Saturday, December 7th, 2024. The Full Marathon begins at 10:00am, and the Half begins at 10:10am. The finish line will close at 3:30PM, per public safety officials and insurance. Sunset is at approximately 3:50PM. It is simply not safe to have participants on the open road once it’s dark.

Bib number pick-up: Friday 12:00pm - 8:00pm at Stearns High School, 199 State Street, Millinocket.

First held in 2015 as a self-timed, glorified flash mob, the Millinocket Marathon & Half was started to help Maine’s most prominent mill town, which was devastated by the closing of their major employer, Great Northern Paper Company. Runner's World Magazine picked up the story shortly after, and the rest is history.
