The XTERRA Trail Run World Championship courses reward runners and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world with a quintessential Maine experience filled with roots and rocks, big climbs, vibrant colors, hero dirt, and views for miles around every switchback.

Located in Carrabassett Valley, Sugarloaf is one of the largest ski areas in the East during the snowy winters, but in the Fall, the bright white gives way to a cornucopia of colors connecting softwoods and hardwoods with mountain streams and natural bridges.

Over the years, the team at Sugarloaf in conjunction with the Carrabassett Region Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (CRNEMBA) and the town of Carrabassett Valley have developed a truly world-class network that is maintained and improved year-round and has lured big events like the mountain biking Enduro World Series.

The XTERRA Trail Run World Series is an inclusive series that invites all trail enthusiasts to join the XTERRA community as we connect, explore, and discover new and existing trails in idyllic running terrains the world over. Designed to mix community and adventure, the series is open to all runners, from amateur to elite, with races in 15+ countries. Runners compete individually, regionally or globally in the XTERRA Trail Run rankings, or push to the front of the pack in your age group to qualify for a place on the starting line at the annual and invite-only XTERRA Trail Run World Championship.

Reduce arrival and departure transportation stress by booking your spot on the XTERRA shuttle. The shuttle will pickup individuals on Friday, August 30, 2024 at 12:00 from the Portland, Maine airport (PWM) and head directly to Sugarloaf Resort. The shuttle will then leave Sugarloaf Resort on Monday, September 2, 2024 at 09:00 and head back to the Portland, Maine airport. Shuttle tickets are non-refundable and must be purchased as a roundtrip. Shuttle tickets must be purchased through the registration process.

All aid stations will have Gatorade and water.

First Aid will also be available at these stations.

For those doing the full and half marathon, we provide a list of essential and recommended equipment and items you can prepare for the race.

Additional safety measures will also be in place.
