This event is all about honoring the thriving farm culture that makes Maine so special. Who better to partner with than the Cumberland Farmer’s Club, ambassadors for agriculture since 1875! We so appreciate their agreeing to make the fairgrounds the heart of this community gathering.

Look for MaineLove at the finish line.

Nestled amidst the lush forests, crystal clear lakes, and endless coastlines, Maine captures the hearts of all who visit. Inspired by this profound connection, mainelove emerged from a dedicated team of 12th-generation Mainers and newcomers who fell for the state's natural beauty and decided to celebrate it by establishing a business. At the heart of Maine’s appeal lies Sebago Lake, an infinitely renewable source of some of the cleanest water on the planet.

The craft beer brewing community in Maine saw an opportunity: utilizing their idle facilities to run a water line when not producing beer. Facing the global single-use plastic crisis, the team opted for sustainable aluminum cans to package their water, prioritizing the health of people and the planet.

Clean, simple and sustainable, mainelove is the way water should be.

Look for owner Danielle Root before and after the race for a massage!

The Foreside Tavern is a a true community spot! We are so thankful for their gold sponsorship for this event.

Since the day we opened our doors in 2004, we have loved being Falmouth's first choice for a special night out, grabbing a booth after little league, watching the Pats win, or playing board games over nachos to pass the time on a snow day.

What makes us unique is our wide-ranging menu that has something for everyone:

Offering Maine must-haves like the famous Fried Haddock Sandwich, or something a little fancier when you're in the mood, and kids favorites that are sure to please.

Our menu is ever-changing and features locally sourced products.

We cherish the families we serve: the kids we've watched grow, the celebrations we've hosted, and the community we share.
