66 Runners Started A 100-mile Race In Maine. Only 19 Finished.

Early in the morning of May 14, a pack of 78 runners stood in the parking lot at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park in Turner. Twelve of those runners were preparing for a 20-mile loop as the first of five runners in relay teams competing that day. The other 66 runners were setting out to accomplish a feat that few people even dream to accomplish: running a continuous 100 miles. The Riverlands 100-mile race was dreamt up by Valerie Abradi and Mindy Slovinsky in response to a lack of 100-mile races to serve the vibrant and thriving trail and ultra-running community in Maine.
