The Caribou Maine Marathon is a rolling hill USATF certified course that showcases the beauty of Caribou and Aroostook County. After touring through the farmland and country side of Caribou, the course brings you through downtown where you will be cheered on by the crowd and into the finish by the festival.

The route takes you along some of the most scenic roads in Maine. You will start and finish in the same area where there will be an abundance of restrooms as well as (limited) showers, post race snacks and drinks and a warm drink station. There will be a street festival featuring a live band and food and craft vendors set up at the finish line. The Caribou Wellness Center is heated and on-site for your comfort. Enjoy the entertainment as you pass through to your second lap and then again at the finish!

The drive or flight here is absolutely beautiful.  It is a part of the adventure to Aroostook County!

If driving, watch for moose!  They are beautiful…..and bigger than your car.
