Runners of all ages and levels will get to enjoy a dash through the woods while helping local land trusts, towns, and non-profits maintain these spectacular spaces. Each race will be capped to 50 runners per event, hence the "tiny" trail race!

Each race will be at three different locations to make up the series: Cape Elizabeth (5/8/2022), Gorham (6/11/2022), and Windham (7/9/2022).

Each course is on commonly used trails, though some sections include rocks, roots, and narrowed segments. These trail networks are a great for all ages and levels to run on.

Portland's only backyard ultra on the iconic Back Cove Trail! Test yourself over and over (and over) again in a 24 hour period, or until the last biped remains standing. Every hour on the hour you'll head out to complete the 3.5 mile Back Cove loop, in a test of physical and mental fortitude. Think you have what it takes? Let's find out!
There will be an aid station and porta potties at the start/finish area in Payson Park with water, packaged snacks, electrolyte/salt packets, and ice available during the heat of the day. You should plan to bring everything else you think you'll need in addition to these basics.
