About the Event

Race Day and Virtual Option

The 2026 Mid-Winter 10 Mile Classic will be race #1 for the 2026 Maine Track Club Grand Prix series. Points will be awarded based on performance at each MTC race, and prizes and bragging rights will be given out at the end of the year at the Annual Banquet.

The gun will fire on Sunday, February 1st, 2025 at 9:45 a.m. The start and finish lines are at Cape Elizabeth High School at 345 Ocean House Rd.

We will also have a virtual racing option for the week leading up to the race, where you can run 10 outdoor miles at any time from January 26 through February 1st, 2025. You must report your run by 11:59pm on February 1st.

You may run both the virtual and in person options for the race, but you may not count the in person race as your virtual result. They must be run separately. You will only get credit for one event (in person or virtual) for the Maine Track Club Grand Prix.

If you want to run the virtual #MWCinTheWild option, you can register beginning on Wednesday, November 26nd at 7:00 a.m. until the start of the in-person race on February 1st at 9:45am.
