The Maine Track Club hosts a weekly "Roasters Run"

Now that the weather is warm, are you looking for some fun ways to get outdoors and get in shape? The Maine Track Club Falmouth is always a great place to meet in town.


The Maine Track Club hosts a weekly "Roasters Run" on Saturdays at 7 a.m., starting from the parking lot of Maine Roasters Coffee on Route 1 in Falmouth. This is a great opportunity to discover the social aspects of running. All ability levels are welcome. Runners group themselves based on pace and then go out for runs ranging from 2-20 miles through Falmouth and Portland. The courses are well laid out; click here to download a map of the individual routes.

The runners congregate back at Maine Roasters Coffee/Freaky Bean after finishing to continue discussions or to get a cup of Joe to go. The runs are very informal, with the only formality being that they always start at exactly 7 a.m. all year long (come rain, shine or blizzard)! This is an especially great way to train for the marathon distance, running in the company of friends. Not a Saturday has been missed since its inception on March 4, 2004.
