The Land of Light 100k
The Land of Light 100k is scheduled for October 10, 2027 in Norway, ME, with course activity centered at Virgil Parris Preserve and six trail parcels in the region.
Distances
- 100K solo
- 100K duo
The event is a fully human powered race that combines running and cycling. The full course comprises about 25 km of running and 75 km of cycling. The route begins with a short run at Virgil Parris Preserve, then riders cycle over Streaked Mountain into town to complete a 5 km loop at Roberts Farm Preserve. Runners then tackle a steep 4 km lollipop at Noyes Mountain, a rolling 8 km lollipop at Shepard's Farm through Witt Swamp, a 4 km loop on the Crooked River parcel, and a short up and down 3 km at Hawk Mountain that finishes at an overlook facing Bear Pond toward Sebago.
Relay teams may swap rider or runner only at transition points or trailheads, not mid course, and may alternate which partner rides or runs. E-bikes are not allowed. GPS navigation is permitted; cyclists must obey all legal road laws when traveling between parcels and may use any open public road.
Aid station support varies by parcel: Robert's Farm and Shepard's Farm are full aid; Noyes Mountain and Hawk are water only. The race is cupless so racers should carry a cup or bottle for refills.
All profits benefit TruStrength Tomorrow; ten percent of proceeds go to Western Foothill Land Trust. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
