This was the event that I was planning on covering this weekend. I was going to make a day of it. I will take this to be an “Act of God” Some people do not believe in God but that does not mean he is not real. That does not mean he is not in control. Might have been a few other running event that could have requested my service but I am now planning to go where the one place which has requested my service & people have been praying that I be there. I will be in Church on Sunday. The Farm to Farm Ultra will now switch to virtual so I will report on it with file photos. If you end up a winner of one of the virtual events & have a great favorite file photo, sent it to me, I might use it other than one that I pick out. davidcolbyyoung@aol.com or davidcolbyyoung@mainerunningphotos.com
The Maine Track Club, Wolfe’s Neck Center, Freeport Conservation Trust, and the race director for the Farm to Farm Ultra Run are saddened to share that due to incoming Nor’easter and the uncertainty surrounding the storm path & full impact, the 2026 Farm to Farm Ultra has been cancelled.
We are doing this out of an abundance of caution to ensure runner safety and trail longevity. This early season storm will have high winds primarily impacting the coast. And since the leaves have not fallen, we are at greater risk for downed trees/branches and power outages. There are a number of low spots that could flood or become mud pits and sections that would end up effectively being a slide unsafe for runners, and not great for the land. We are unable to postpone to a new date given the significant amount of local races and location events over the next 8 weeks.
Runners were sent an email last night and provided 4 options for their registration: Donate, defer, switch to virtual, or refund.
Please do not run the course this weekend.
