Sign Up for the 2026 MITA Milers

Back for 2026 and better than ever, the time has come to join the MITA Milers, who will be running in the Maine Community Bank Maine Marathon on Sunday, October 4 in Portland! Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or new to running, join us 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!

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.

Signups for the MITA Milers open today, April 24, which is just over 23 weeks ahead of the Maine Marathon. If you’re new to running or maybe a little rusty, then sign up before May 1 to get access to a special four-week base-building program from Amanda.

Learn more at mita.org/milers and get ready to join your teammates as we run for the islands.
