Bold Coast Bash

Bold Coast Bash

The Bold Coast Bash is a trail running event in Cutler, ME offering timed multi-lap and single-loop options. Distances include:

• 50K Ultra
• 10.5 Mile Fun Run

The course is a figure eight with a short middle section run twice on each lap. Each lap measures about 16.7 km (10.4 miles); 50K entrants complete three laps and must return to the Start/Finish/Aid Area at the end of each lap. The trail includes cliffs, single-track sections, roots, slippery rocks, mud, bog bridging and some unstable boards; all turns and junctions are marked with blue flags.

There is a single aid area located at the Start/Finish; there are no aid stations on the course and runners must be self supporting between laps. Drop bags may be left at the Start/Finish area. Mandatory equipment is checked before each lap and includes a windproof or waterproof jacket, warm mid layer, warm head covering, warm gloves, a foil blanket, a whistle, at least 200 calories of instant energy, and a headlamp when starting the third lap.

Registration opens in August 2026; entry fee is $45. Entrants are capped to limit impact on fragile ecosystems and to avoid congestion. When capacity is reached, a wait list opens and spots are offered by sign-up order. Live race tracking is available via a timing app but requires cell service and will update periodically.
