In addition to our main events there are a number of other special activities for runners and their families and friends during marathon weekend.

Saturday: 8:00am-9:00am ET  5K Running Tour of Lubec – Complimentary.  Come and learn a little about the history and geography of Lubec on a gentle 5K guided tour of the town.
