We will allow 250 runners/walkers to register. \nWhat is the cost? \nRegistration for the Blueberry Cove 13.1 is $100. \nDue to a limited amount of space in the race\, and the fact that this is an important fundraiser for Blueberry Cove\, race fees are non-refundable. \nDo you have a pre-race dinner? \nYes. Enjoy a real Downeast dinner from 6-8 pm with chowder\, bread\, salads with veggies from the Blueberry Cove Camp garden\, homemade blueberry pie\, all for just $25 per adult\, $5 per child (12 and under). \nHow do I register? \nOnline registration will be available on Active’s website beginning in September. No race day registration. \nWhat is the course like? \nDiscover the REAL Maine. The Blueberry Cove 13.1 is loaded with country roads\, gentle hills\, and lots of ocean views. The course is a ½ marathon\, 13.1 miles. It is a challenging circumnavigation of the lower St. George peninsula\, with the start and finish lines at Blueberry Cove Camp off Harts Neck Road in Tenants Harbor\, ME. \nThe first half of the route is a rural back road\, with quiet coves\, gentle hills\, and few houses\, while the second half comes alive with much to see. Enjoy the beauty of Maine’s largest fishing fleet once you reach Port Clyde\, also home of the Monhegan Boat Line ferries. Travel the same route Forest Gump traveled upon reaching the Marshall Point Light House\, then head along Drift Inn Beach\, the Atlantic Ocean\, and back to Blueberry Cove for a scrumptious Maine blueberry brunch. \nWhat will the weather be like? \nBeautiful\, it’s Maine!  Definitely shorts weather. Comfortable nights\, warm days. \nCan I walk the race? \nYes. Walkers will start with the runners at 7:30 AM. Because walkers are not timed\, they may leave up to 1 hour earlier as long as they have checked in first. Please note\, not all water stops may be set up this early. \nAre pets or baby strollers allowed at Blueberry Cove Camp or in the race? \nNo pets.  Except for service animals\, we require that pets are left at home.  Baby strollers are allowed. \nAre there adequate bathroom facilities? \nThere are bathrooms at the start and finish of the race plus 4 more porta-potty locations along the route. \nIs there hydration along the course? \nWe have hydration stations approximately every 2 miles. \nDo I get a medal even if I come in last? \nOf course! All participants will be guaranteed a finisher’s medal. We want you to be proud of your accomplishment. \nCan I take a shower after the race? \nBlueberry Cove Camp has limited shower facilities for runners on race day. \nWhen are the awards given? \nAwards will be presented at 10:30 AM during the blueberry brunch. \nAre there cash prizes? \nNo. We are a small grassroots race. We have no big sponsors and limited small sponsors. We want participants to run for their health\, for fun\, for the challenge\, and to help raise funds to support our programs. \nCan my friends help during the race? \nYes\, just have them contact us by email at extension.tanglewood4h@maine.edu for more information. \nWhere can spectators watch the race? \nOnce the race starts\, we will be holding off traffic on Harts Neck Road until all the racers have cleared the 1-mile run to Route 131. We suggest you leave before the start of the race and park at the ball field approximately 1.5-miles from the start\, just north of Harts Neck Road\, or park there and walk back to the start. There will be plenty of parking and a porta-potty available at this location. You may also proceed further north on Route 131 and pull off into the parking lot of the Tenants Harbor Baptist Church. Runners will be turning at this location and the road will narrow. Once the racers have passed these two spots\, we then suggest you head south on Route 131 and toward Port Clyde. There will be several places to watch from this direction. \nFirst chance to see the runners will be at the Ridge Road/Turkey Cove Road intersection. Travel along Route 131\, pass over a small bridge with water on each side and then turn right onto Ridge Road. Within a few miles\, you will see our directional team at work. \nOther locations to watch are in Port Clyde. Parking can sometimes be a problem\, so please use good judgment and don’t use business parking lots. \nOur best recommendation for viewing the race is along Drift Inn Beach. From Route 131 South\, we will have a sign marking the beach parking lot. Here there will be porta-potties\, a water station\, and plenty of room to walk along the beach road to cheer on your friends and family. If the parking lot is full\, you may also park along Route 131 near the parking lot entrance\, as this is not part of the race route. \nFor those more ambitious\, the parking lot is within 1.5 – 2 miles from Marshall Point Light\, another water stop\, and a porta-potty stop. This road will be closed to road traffic because it is an out and back for the runners\, so please use common sense while walking this route\, remember\, these folks are in a race\, not an obstacle course competition! \nThe best suggestion we can give is to contact us ahead of time and volunteer at a water station. They will be located every two miles along the route and offer first-hand viewing. Maps will be available. \nWhat’s the most important thing I need to remember? \nBecause the St. George peninsula is mainly rural back roads\, we encourage spectators to abide by our suggestions for the safety of the runners so that they do not get hit by a car or have trouble breathing all the car exhaust.  Of course\, we can’t keep you off most of the route\, but we highly recommend that if you absolutely need to check up on your runner\, please travel in the same direction as the racers. \nWhat are my lodging options? \nMidcoast Maine has many choices to pick from including campgrounds\, bed & breakfasts\, hotels\, motels\, inns\, and cottages. Visit the St. George Business Alliance or Penobscot Bay Chamber for local listings. There are also a limited number of rustic cabins available on site. \nWhat is the closest lodging option? \nBlueberry Cove Camp. Simple rustic cabins are located just steps away from Race Headquarters and the dining hall. Cabins are bunkhouse style with multiple beds per cabin. Campers must provide their own sheets or sleeping bag. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp\, as cabins do not have electricity.  Price:  $20 per person for a group cabin; $25 per person for private (2-person) cabins; $10 per person for space to set up your own tent.  You can register for a cabin or tent space during the online race registration process. \nIs there anything to do in Midcoast Maine? \nYes\, lots. Hiking\, biking\, hills\, rivers\, lakes\, ocean beaches\, museums\, lighthouses\, art galleries\, great cafes and restaurants\, pubs\, lobster and lobster boats\, and much\, much more. \nVisit St. George Business Alliance or Penobscot Bay Chamber for listings of what to do. \nHow can I stay in touch with what’s happening with the Blueberry Cove 13.1? \nFollow us on Facebook! \nThe University of Maine System is an equal opportunity institution committed to nondiscrimination.
