Firebird Trail Race is a challenging and wicked fun trail race with distance options of 13M, Marathon, & 50K (be warned, it's brutal), that runs on donations, positive vibes, and a crushingly technical course in Falmouth, Maine.
Unlike other races, to compete here you must donate to a non-profit of your choice in addition to paying the low cost registration fee. Instead of some mega race conglomerate taking the profits, we ask that you pay it forward and contribute to a non-profit that aligns with your values. Donations must be made between 8.25.2024 and 8.22.2025, and we must have proof of the donation (receipt, confirmation letter, copy of your check) by 8.22.25 in order to confirm entry. Donations must be at least $20.
Participants have donated in excess of $30,000, which is nothing short of astounding!
The 10 mile loop in Lowell Preserve and thru North Falmouth Community Forest is technical and challenging, with lots of rocks and roots on mostly single-track trails. All events start and finish in Lowell Preserve at the Windham Fire Station.
- 13M course: one loop in Lowell Preserve and North Falmouth Community Forest plus 5k loop in East Windham Conservation Area trails
- Marathon course: two loops of the 13M course
- 50K course: three loops in Lowell Preserve and North Falmouth Community Forest plus 5k loop in Lowell (this one gives you a little extra for your registration fee)
