Maine running club | Competitive since 2002

Race hard.
Train together.

Dirigo brings Maine runners together for committed training, team racing, and representing the state well.

For Maine runners who want more from racing.

Founded in 2002, Dirigo is a Maine-based running club created to establish a competitive Maine racing team, foster personal achievement, and give runners opportunities to train and race together.

The club values commitment, teamwork, sportsmanship, and a strong connection to Maine. Membership has no time or age requirements; runners who want to contribute to the team are welcome to reach out.

Race, train, and carry the club.

Dirigo is built around member coordination: training plans, race entries, team scoring, results, and the small work that keeps a Maine racing team moving.
