The Land of Light 100k

The Land of Light 100k, Norway ME

The event on October 11, 2026 is held in Norway, Maine and offers multi-discipline entries across preserved lands and trail systems.

Distances

• 100K solo
• 100K duo

The 100k is a fully human powered course that requires participants to run and cycle between parcels rather than travel by car. The course combines about 25 km of trail running and 75 km of cycling across six trail systems. The route starts at Virgil Parris Preserve with an initial 3 km loop, includes a bike climb over Streaked Mountain into town, a 5 km loop at Roberts Farm Preserve, a steep 4 km lollipop at Noyes Mountain, an 8 km rolling lollipop at Shepard's Farm through Witt Swamp, a 4 km loop on the Crooked River parcel at Twin Bridges, and a final short up and down 3 km at Hawk Mountain finishing at an overlook across Bear Pond toward Sebago.

Relay teams may swap rider or runner only at transition points or trailheads, not mid course, and partners may alternate roles more than once. Cyclists must follow all legal road laws; there is no required travel course on roads. E-bikes are not allowed. GPS and navigation are permitted; organizers may request GPS data from podium contenders for verification. Recommended routes and GPX files are provided to entrants.

Aid stations: full aid at Robert's Farm and Shepard's Farm; water only at Noyes Mountain and Hawk. The event is cupless so racers should carry a personal cup or bottle. All profits go to TruStrength Tomorrow, with 10% of proceeds to Western Foothill Land Trust.

Practical notes: parking at the Virgil Parris start is limited with additional roadside and a park and ride in Buckfield. A limited shuttle from RADR field complex in Harrison is offered for 100k solo entrants with advance arrangements. An awards gathering will be held at 290 Maine Street in Norway to announce podium finishers and distribute swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
