The third annual Pleasant Mountain Race, a 21 kilometer trail race, will take place on Sunday, September 28th, 2025 at 8am. The race is presented by ReVision Energy, and proceeds support Loon Echo Land Trust, who maintains the hiking trail network on Pleasant Mountain.

Runners will compete on a tough course that begins at Pleasant Mountain Ski Area’s East Lodge, heads up the Bald Peak Trail, and descends the mountain on the Firewarden’s Trail. They then run on the road from the Firewarden’s Trailhead to the Southwest Ridge Trailhead to head back up the mountain to the summit, across the ridge to Sue’s Way Trail, and down the Bald Peak Trail back to the East Lodge. The course is 21 kilometers long and has over 4,000 feet of elevation gain.

The public is welcome to watch the race at designated places along the course and attend the post-race party at Pleasant Mountain’s east area ski lodge featuring music from Dylan Tanguay, The Scale Shack Food Truck, and beer from Norway Brewing Company. The first runners will finish around 10:15.

Thank you to the 2025 Pleasant Mountain Race sponsors: ReVision Energy, Pleasant Mountain Ski Area, Norway Brewing Company, Fleet Feet, and Maine Morning Micro Roasters.
