The Land of Light 100k
The event in Norway, ME combines trail running and road cycling across six preserved land parcels. Distances offered:
- 100K solo
- 100K duo relay
The 100k solo course is presented as a fully human powered category with about 25k of running and 75k of cycling. Racers must travel between parcels by bicycle rather than by car. Cyclists must obey all legal road laws and e-bikes are not allowed. GPS and navigation are permitted; racers are not required to submit GPS data unless requested for podium verification.
The run segments include a mix of short loops and lollipop routes at multiple preserves, with notable parcels named Virgil Parris Preserve, Roberts Farm, Noyes Mountain, Shepard's Farm, Crooked River, and Hawk Mountain. Relay teams may swap rider and runner only at transition points or trailheads, not mid course, and partners may alternate roles multiple times.
Aid stations vary by parcel. Full aid will be available at some locations and water only at others; racers should carry a personal cup or bottle because the event is cupless. Profits support TruStrength Tomorrow with a percentage donated to the Western Foothill Land Trust. Recommended route maps and GPX files are provided to participants; final details may change at the director's discretion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
