Pine Tree Marathon

I've run more than 50+ marathons prior to this series (2019) but never 6 in 6 days. The race director was organized and the support was superb. The format was city and state parks with roughly 3.5 mi loops. The camaraderie was absolutely amazing as each marathon was completed. I can honestly say this series was the most enjoyable running experience I've had in 40 years of running. I highly recommend the New England Challenge!

This was day one of The New England Challenge series. Packet pick up was easy. Parking next to start/finish. Excellent volunteers and more food choices than you could imagine. Excellent race series. JC, the race director, celebrates your running milestones with a cake and balloons.

The cost was ridiculously high for what you got. We got an ugly T-shirt that wasn't even dri fit and a few snacks on the course. For $100 I expect more. The medal was okay. The course is around a lake so you always have aid/bathroom close, but the Race director was unorganized. I am shocked that he has a timing company. I was NOT impressed and felt like it was just a race to get 50 staters 'Maine' for a huge price. It was no frills what so ever. Do a different race for 'Maine' if 50 states is your pursuit.
