2026 Motomarathon West Point to Maine Registration

2026 NY-Maine Motomarathon

Greetings fellow riders,

​

   I hope this message finds you well. With a lot of help from people working behind the scenes, the event we held in Colorado this past year was a huge success. Our biggest supporter was Craig Brooks. Craig was not only our route master for all four days, but he also gave us some spectacular checkpoints and scenic vistas. A huge thank you to Craig.

​

   For 2026, we will be hosting the NY-Maine Motomarathon. We will depart West Point Military Academy on Monday, August 24, and arrive on the shores of North Hero Island, in the middle of Lake Champlain for one night. Tuesday morning, we depart for The Birches on Moosehead Lake in Rockwood Maine. There we will stay for three nights and ride through beautiful Maine on routes created by Motomarathon Rider and Maine resident, Dave Rouleau.

    Check-in is on Sunday, August 23 and ride dates are August 24-27.

​The cost for registration is $100 per rider. This helps cover logistics, shirts, website costs, and insurance. Our insurance premium nearly doubled two years ago and shows no sign of going down.  After speaking with riders who participate in other events, we are finding that everyone is experiencing the same issues, with some events disappearing off the map.

​

   To help cover the increased costs, and keep the registration fee down, we are looking for sponsors for 2026. Sponsorship includes having your name and emblem listed on our shirts. We will promote you at the event, and on our website and Facebook page. Sponsorship is $495. This will also cover your registration fee if you participate. Any assistance you can offer to keep Motomarathon going will be greatly appreciated by everyone involved.
