Event Description

Would you like to run the 6 hr. event where the 2024 winner ran the 2nd fastest female attempt and 8th fastest attempt overall in the WHOLE country for the year according to Ultra Running Magazine?!? This course is built for records, PR's, and backyard ultra style training,

Along the sleepy Route 26 in Western Maine, there lies a place that is world renowned for its magical healing waters. Over the course of 200 years, a small village has grown into a thriving community where the people are just as magical as the water under their feet. This is the town of Poland, Maine.

Trail Legs Run Coaching and Poland Parks & Rec. invite you to 6 at the Springs, a celebration of Poland’s unique small businesses and trails through a running event. Competitors will tour the historically registered rail trail at Waterhouse Brook located at the the base of Lower Range Pond. From there they will run to a turnaround in Mechanic Falls before crossing the scenic waterway back to the start line. This flat 4 mile loop will excite the speedster and the casual hiker alike as it passes multiple watersheds and possibly the most scenic beaver pond ever created along a wide, hard-packed trail.

As a timed event we will give recognition for all mileage earned. One loop. Two loops. Ten loops. The choice is yours and we hope you come ready to challenge yourself! This course is friendly for both the experienced and new runner/walker of all ages.

And when you’re done, enjoy all the amazing products that our local businesses and sponsors offer.

Be sure to join us this June to see our amazing businesses and beautiful trail systems!

How do you participate?

You may sign up multiple participants under one account. If you wish to add additional family members or want your child 12 and under to be scored, please select "Add Participant" before you choose Checkout. All paid entries have an event shirt included!

6 at the Springs is a six hour endurance event. That means you can run as much distance as you want from 4 miles and up during that time period. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RUN THE ENTIRE SIX HOURS! Prizes will be awarded!

Another great feature is start times. We recognize not everyone is an 8am runner. Therefore we will have gun starts at 9am and 10am in addition to the 8am start. The 6 hour clock still stops at 2pm so if you plan to arrive later, be aware that the total time you will have available will be less than 6 hours. This is a great opportunity for the running parent to let the kids settle in before getting out for your race! Simply sign up as normal and show up when you can.

Event's current local time: 11:27 AM ET
