Reduced Rates offered at the Wiscasset Woods Lodge!

Our friends at the Wiscasset Woods Lodge are offering a 10% discount to all MSAR racers for a minimum 2 night stay for this year's race. To apply the discount, use promo code "race" when checking out on their website.

The Wiscasset Woods Lodge offers comfortable rooms, a delicious home-cooked breakfast (which will be open early enough for racers on race day!), a group campfire, and a very convenient location on route 1 (about 20  minutes from the race start/finish). 

The owners have asked racers to book the non-pet-friendly rooms as there is another group also staying at the lodge that weekend who will need those pet-friendly rooms. The discount code is good for stays from June 11th to June 18th, so extend your trip and enjoy this gorgeous part of the Maine coast! 

Book soon, as rooms are expected to fill up by one month before the race!

Free Campsites available at Hidden Valley Nature Center!
