The Land of Light 100k

Racers will be provided aid stations at the following parcels:
Robert's Farm - Full aid
Noyes Mt - H20 only
Shepard's Farm - Full Aid
Hawk - H20 Only but we will bring leftovers from other parcels there as we close them
Full aid stations will include some version of normal race munchies: pb&j, bananas, chips, pretzels, & candy
In an effort to be less impactful to the environment this race is CUPLESS. Races should expect to carry their own cup or bottle for refilling at stations. Racers utilizing an aid car (run-only category) can keep any aid in their vehicles they would like.

Come join us at 290 Maine Street in Norway for a post race celebration where we will announce the podium finishers and give away some swag. They have a great menu of food and drinks ready to order. We will likely be outside on their patio so dress warm!

100k Racers will check in at Virgil Parris Preserve the morning of the event Buckfield. There are only a handful of parking spots at the start of the race at Virgil Parris, but automobiles can be parked along the East side of the road along the woods. Cyclists can also be dropped off or ride to the start. Automobiles can be left at the park and ride lot in Buckfield just a mile away from the VP trailhead.
NEW THIS YEAR!! We are partnering with RideShare to offer a shuttle to the start. 100k Racers that want to take advantage of this service can leave their car at RADR field complex in Harrison and we will shuttle riders and bikes over on a small bus or van. This is limited to 100k soloist only. We will arrange heats of expected pickup times in the final week leading up to the race.
If not using the shuttle, 100k Cyclists should plan to be picked up or ride out from Hawk Mt. RADR Field in Harrison is a convenient place to leave a vehicle that is a short downhill ride from Hawk Mt.

All profits from this race are donated directly to TruStrength Tomorrow, a 501c3 non-profit company that provides scholarships to youth, within the Oxford Hills School District, to be able to attend indoor/outdoor fitness programs that will help them live a healthier lifestyle. This includes programs that offer mentorship/positive adult-youth relationship building, physical fitness training, ski and rock climbing clinics, and leadership development clinics.

For thousands of years, the Wabanaki people have lived upon and cared for this land, which they named Dawnland. The Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Mi'kmaq, and Maliseet tribes are the original inhabitants of the lands we now call Maine and the Canadian Maritimes.

This event was named in recognition and respect of the Wabanaki people's reverence for the land they lived upon. We have never lived in a time where the need to restore reverence for the earth has been so urgent. The Western Foot Hills Land Trust also works to connect people to the land that we use and live in so this race seemed a fitting opportunity for us to open that conversation with you about how we experience deeper care and relationship with the planet we tread and depend upon.
