About the Maine Running Hall of Fame 5K In Memory of Julius Marzul
The course follows a counter-clockwise loop around Back Cove, starting at the soccer fields there and finishing at Baxter Boulevard. It is a flat waterfront loop with open views across the cove, the kind of route where you can see other runners ahead of you for most of the way. The race benefits the Maine Running Hall of Fame and honors a man who ran into his late seventies.
Packet pickup and race-day registration happen at Marathon Sports in Portland in the hours before the start. After finishing, Otto's Pizza on Read Street puts out a pizza buffet for the field.
