6 at the Springs 6 hr. 4 mile loop on Waterbrook House Trail in Poland, ME. June 20th 2026. Thank you for everyone who has made the last 2 years so succesful!! One loop. Two loops.

Along the sleepy Route 26 in Western Maine, there lies a place that is world renowned for its magical healing waters. Over the course of 200 years, a small village has grown into a thriving community where the people are just as magical as the water under their feet. This is the town of Poland, Maine. Trail Legs Run Coach and Poland Parks & Rec. invite you to 6 at the Springs, a celebration of Poland’s unique small businesses and trails through a running event. Competitors will tour the historically registered rail trail from the mouth of Lower Range Pond to a turnaround in Mechanic Falls before returning to the start line. This flat 4 mile loop will excite the speedster and the casual hiker alike as it passes multiple watersheds and possibly the most scenic beaver pond ever created along a wide, hard-packed trail. As a timed event we will give recognition for all mileage earned. Ten loops. The choice is yours and we hope you come ready to challenge yourself! This course is friendly for both the experienced and new runner/walker of all ages. And when you’re done, enjoy all the amazing products that our local businesses and sponsors offer. Be sure to join us this June to see our amazing businesses and beautiful trail systems!

We had the absolute pleasure of attending the latest Mission Working Dogs graduation this past weekend. If you’ve been following along with us the past couple of years, you know that we were able to name a puppy with the money our runners and sponsors have helped us raise. Mission’s Ultra Miles (“Miley” or “Miles”) and her owner Christina graduated from the program, making Miles an official service dog. We couldn’t be any more proud!! Great job, girls👏🏼🎓🐾

After three years of our event, you’ve all helped us to raise almost $9,000 for Mission Working Dogs… and we don’t think we’re done just yet!!Keep your eyes on the page for upcoming announcements about what 2027 might look like.

In the meantime, we’re looking for suggestions to name one the two little girl pups in the picture below. Let’s hear ‘em!

We’re willing to bet your Maplewood Barbecue sauce bottles are already running low… because wow that stuff is delicious 🤤 The good news is you can now restock at select Hannaford stores!!

When Maplewood’s owner Wade (also a veteran 🇺🇸) told us he wanted to donate a bottle for every runner we said “Sir… that’s TOO much.” But he insisted anyway and we’re so grateful he did!!❤️

Huge thank you to Wade for the generosity and big congrats on the new partnership! 🍁

Proud to announce Maplewood BBQ is now available in select Hannaford Supermarkets locations across Southern Maine!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us from day one.

Results have been posted! You should see an email soon with the link. We also hope you will stay tuned for exciting information on all the people behind the businesses and people that make this event possible.

Also congrats to Poland Animal Hospital🐶🐱 own Terina for winning our mileage guessing contest! Her guess of 2222 miles was just half a lap short of the 2224 put up by you amazing runners. PAH also happens to be an event sponsor and the preferred vet for our mascot Benji.

(With much appreciated changes in UltraSignup results uploads, we plan to update previous year’s results to better reflect records and order. Thank you for your patience on this!)

Thank you again for being part of our community event with a trail race included in Poland! Results will be posted Wednesday morning.

In the meantime, let’s have some more fun. Can you guess the total miles run by all competitors in all divisions on Saturday? It was our biggest year yet so this will be our biggest mileage so far!

Closest without going over wins a three pack of car washes from our good friends Soak'd Auto Spa on Maine Street in Poland! Much like a trail runner after 6 hours, your car also deserves a shower.
