2026 MITA Milers
The time has come to join the 2026 MITA Milers, who will be running in the Maine Community Bank Maine Marathon on Sunday, October 4 in Portland to fundraise in support of MITA’s mission of promoting responsible recreation and volunteer stewardship on Maine’s wild islands. Run the full marathon, the half, or join our relay team! If you have yet to register for the Maine Marathon, we can help you navigate the process once you have joined the MITA Milers.
This year, the team will be led by 25x marathoner, 2x Olympic Marathon Team Trials qualifier, and professional running coach Amanda Allen Nurse (@amandarunsboston on Instagram). Amanda will offer group coaching to our entire MITA Milers team, and will be out there herself representing MITA on race day.
