Sugarloaf Marathon and 15K
Now in its 33rd year, the Sugarloaf Marathon is Maine’s oldest continuously run marathon, drawing hundreds of runners from all over the U.S. and Eastern Canada each year. From Cathedral Pines in Eustis to downtown Kingfield, despite the mountainous surroundings, Sugarloaf’s course is widely known as a fast course. The final 16 miles of the course have an elevation loss of 980 feet, helping to make it common for runners to have personal best times on this course.
Arnold Trail Historical Society reps visit WSKI
After years of trying to track someone down to be on our Mountain Report show to talk about this historical event that happened so ‘long ago’ but not at all ‘far away’, we found two locals who are part of the ATHS, Kenny Wing & Rocky Freeman, right under our noses! The story of Benedict Arnold’s march to Quebec City from Newburyport, Mass. is a tale of heroic efforts, valiant attempts to persevere… & harsh weather & conditions that led to very high attrition along the way…. with some of their worst terrain & experiences right in our backyard north to Lac Megantic! Check out arnoldsmarch.com for more info on this fascinating piece of history that you can explore.. re-trace their route & imagine as you go…!
Sunday Blues in the Barn
Mountain Village Farm B& B in Kingfield is the perfect place to base your Maine High Peaks adventures from, at any time of the year! The Barn on the Farm is also a fantastic venue for music, as we will appreciate this summer when Victor Wainwright makes an appearance on August 2nd. Circle the date: see you there, blues fans!!!
Spring ALSO means Fishing Season in the Maine High Peaks Region!
While the skiing continues on the Mountain, the fishing has begun on the streams & rivers as water opens under the warm sunshine! While lakes & ponds are still holding onto the ice, keen anglers are eager to cast a line & begin the new season. Our region has a number of Registered Maine Guides who are available to show you the hot spots if you are already experienced, teach you how to fly-fish if you’re not experienced, & share with you the local knowledge that will give you an appreciation for our region in ways you won’t expect! WSKI was happy to have Carrabassett Valley resident Bob Duport on the Mountain Report to give us the low-down on this Rite of Spring so revered locally, so stick that “Gone Fishing” sign on your door & cast a line w/ Bob!
