Not staying is in the Katahdin region both before AND after the race means you’ll miss out on a huge part of the event! We encourage you to stay and have fun, then plan for a leisurely drive home on Sunday. (remember Millinocket is a Saturday race!)return to FAQ menu Where did the name ‘Magic City’ come from? At the turn of the 20th century, the largest paper mill in the world was rapidly constructed in Millinocket. The town in the Maine Woods grew quickly to accommodate the influx of immigrants and earned the nickname of "The Magic City=" since it seemed to grow as if by magic! (The video below is just under 2-minutes.) The Great Northern Mill closed in September 2008, and the smoke stack of the largest paper mill in the world was demolished in November 2014.“It's kind of like closure, because now everybody gets the reality of knowing that there is no mill. There will be no mill. There's no more paper making operation that's ever going to happen in this town, and we've got to go ahead and try to move forward.” -Town Councilor Michael MadoreThe first running of the Millinocket Marathon & Half in December 2015.Click HERE for a historical timeline of Maine's Biggest Small Town.return to FAQ menu Is there a way I can further support the spirit of the Millinocket Marathon?

Accepted Answer

Noise cancelling headphones are strictly prohibited! Other headphones are allowed, but discouraged. In accordance with revised regulations of USATF, this event no longer bans the use of headsets while participating in our events. (Except for athletes competing for cash prizes; see below.)However, the MIllinocket Marathon & Half recognizes the potential danger of wearing such devices as parts of our course are shared with auto traffic and strongly urges participants NOT to use headphones.If you still insist on wearing headphones, please keep the volume turned down low, and only run with one ear bud so you are aware of other participants and vehicular traffic.According to Road Runners Club of America's tips for running safety:"Don't wear headphones. Use your ears to be aware of the surroundings. When using headsets, you lose the use of an important sense: your hearing. Always stay alert and aware of what's going on around you. The more aware you are, the less vulnerable you are." return to FAQ menu What items are NOT allowed on the course?

Question 11

No. Only official or emergency vehicles with permits will be allowed on Golden Road after the race starts. This will be strictly enforced to help keep runners safe/separated from expected heavy spectator traffic.Spectators may drive out the paved part of the course (Millinocket Lake Road) toward Baxter State Park and turn RIGHT into Huber Road and park and walk to Golden Road to cheer on or support runners. (Do NOT turn left onto the race route!) return to FAQ menu Can a friend who isn’t registered to participate jump in and run with me for a few miles?
