Millinocket Marathon & Half
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising Overview
Leave more than footprints!
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.
Although there is no formal entry fee to run the Millinocket Marathon & Half, all participants are strongly encouraged to make a donation at the time of registration and to use their personal fundraising page to support the bare minimum race expenses. These expenses include race timing, course certification, port-a-johns, bus transportation, and insurance. Anything raised above and beyond the essential race expenses will be donated to local charitable groups and organizations.
The Millinocket Marathon & Half is organized entirely by volunteers who are not compensated for their time. All donations go directly to supporting race expenses and the community.

If you signed up by way of the Sea to Summit Race Series:
You’ll need to wait until November 1st when your S2S entry is fully imported into the Millinocket ZippyReg system. (We recognize that this is not ideal and we’re working with the folks at ZippyReg for a better solution.)
