Prepare for an exhilarating day of trail running at the Cherry Hill Farm Ultra, set for Saturday, September 5, 2026, in picturesque Gorham, Maine. This event offers distances for all levels of runners, including a 50K (12 loops), 25K (6 loops), and a 10K (2 loops). The course, described as flat and non-technical, winds through the beautiful Cherry Hill Farm, utilizing trails such as Ecomaine, Burleigh Lovett, Canal, Mosherbrook, and Cherry Hill Trail. It presents a unique physical and mental challenge, perfect for first-time ultra-marathoners seeking an accessible entry into the ultra-running scene, as well as seasoned veterans aiming for a new personal best on its fast and flat terrain.

The Cherry Hill Farm Ultra prides itself on a supportive atmosphere, featuring a concentrated aid station at the end of each loop, well-stocked with snacks, water, and electrolyte drinks. Organizers uphold a "no runner left behind" policy, ensuring they remain until every participant crosses the finish line. Located near the red gate entrance of the park on Main Street, next to Sebago Brewing, the start/finish area serves as a central hub for the looped course. Typical race day conditions in early September offer comfortable running weather, with highs around 75°F and lows around 56°F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation. This combination of an inviting course, excellent support, and pleasant weather makes the Cherry Hill Farm Ultra an ideal event to test your limits and achieve your running goals.
