11:00 AM - 1:00 PM    Clifford Park 5K Trail Race - Clifford Park 5K Trail Race
Thinking you're tough? Prove it at Clifford Park's legendary trail race, the hardest 5K in Southern Maine. Don't let the distance fool you! With roughly 450 feet of elevation gain packed into just 3.1 miles, this course delivers relentless climbs, fast descents, and technical single track loaded with roots, rocks, and rugged terrain that feels more like a mini mountain race than a local 5K. The route showcases nearly every trail in the park, giving runners a full tour of Clifford's best features while demanding strength, skill, and grit from start to finish. Every registered runner who conquers the course will earn a food truck ticket to the Maine Smash Burger to celebrate their accomplishment, while podium finishers will take home special prizes. Whether you're chasing a personal best, battling for a podium spot, or simply looking for one of the most challenging and rewarding trail races in Maine, this is a race you won't want to miss.
