About the Bangor Marathon - Full/Half/10K/5K - Running Festival
The course starts at the corner of Main and Dutton streets and heads out through the city toward the town of Kenduskeag before turning back to finish at Bangor Waterfront Park. The half follows the same road out to a turnaround on outer Broadway. Both routes are paved and point-to-point in feel, with the river park as a landing spot at the end.
There is no time limit on either distance, which makes the course genuinely open to a wide range of paces. Personal bottles can be dropped at the operations tent near the start and will be waiting at the water stations along the route. A vendor area sets up at the finish for runners and whoever came to watch.

The Bangor Marathon - Full/Half/10K/5K - Running Festival has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
