Registration Information

Help keep Millinocket running for years to come!  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 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 our 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 are not running, or you didn’t chip in at time of registration, but you’d love to support the race, please click HERE to make a donation to help cover race expenses. Thank you!

Important: In the unlikely event that not enough donations are collected in advance of the race, a mandatory donation may be required for late entries.

Please keep in mind that registration is limited and may close without notice. All participants must be signed up in advance by November 1st. There is NO registration available at bib pick-up.

Confirm my Registration

It is the participant’s responsibility to confirm that they have completed the registration process and are signed up to run.

Once successfully signed up to participate, a confirmation email will be sent to the address provided at the time of registration.

Additionally, please check the posted list of confirmed entrants. If you do not see your name, you are not signed up to run.

All participants must be signed up by November 1st.

Every year there is a small percentage of people who, for whatever reason, do not complete the registration process. ZippyReg has multiple systems in place to alert prospective registrants that they haven’t completed the check out process, but for whatever reason, this small percentage of people still don’t complete the process. Unfortunately, they usually don’t realize their error until it’s too late and registration has reached capacity. Our best advice is to not be one of these people, and make sure that you’re signed up to run.

Wait List

Registration for both races is capped and may close without notice. If this happens races officials *might* open a wait list. If there are cancellations and more spots open up prior to November 1st, these spots will be available via the wait list.

No new registrations will be accepted after November 1st.

Update or Cancel My Registration

Please keep in mind that although our race is free, there are still many costs associated with your entry. There are also entrant capacities for both events. If you are unable to run, please cancel by November 1st. Thank you!

HOW TO CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION: You will need to access your personal Registration Portal within ZippyReg to make changes or updates. Please use the link in your Run Millinocket confirmation email*.

No-Shows

(Don’t be one!)

Please keep in mind that although Millinocket is “free”, there are still many associated costs and funds expended when planning for your participation. No-showing or canceling after November 1st might not seem like a big deal when it’s ‘just one person’, but when that number is multiplied by hundreds of no-shows, it adds up quickly. (The list below is the number of no-shows each year since we first started keeping track.) Additionally, by not canceling your entry in a timely manner, you are holding a spot in the race that someone else desperately wants.

2023 No-Shows: 675
2022 No-Shows: 949
2021 No-Shows: 973
2019 no-shows: 855
2018 No-Shows: 992

With that said, we know that sometimes even the best laid plans go out the window — that’s okay. We’re all human and we all know that ‘life’ happens. Please do your best to thoughtfully manage your registration. Thank you.

No late registrations or transfers, sorry! Unfortunately, once registration has closed, no new entries will be accepted. Custom bib numbers are ordered with runners personal data and emergency contact information. This information is communicated to public safety departments. Bib numbers and timing chips are uniquely coded and personalized for each individual participant. This means that we are unable to reassign any that may go unclaimed.
