About

Megunticook Trail Festival is held in Camden, Maine, on September 12, 2026, with three trail formats staggered through the morning: a 50K (31 miles) at 7:00 AM, the Halfast 20K (12.4 miles) at 8:00 AM and the Wicked Tough 10K (6.2 miles) at 8:30 AM. The name refers to the Megunticook area of the Camden Hills.

The race names are a hint that none of the distances are meant to be easy. The 10K and 20K suit runners who want a demanding short trail race with real climbing, and both work well as a fall fitness test. The 50K is a good first ultra for runners with hilly trail experience. Whatever you choose, make hill repeats and technical descents a regular part of a 12- to 16-week build, and expect to hike some sections without feeling like you are losing time.
