Participants can register as either a 5k runner, 5k walker or mile walker. Once registered, participants can raise money by collecting pledge donations for their walk/run efforts. All money raised will fund vital services to victims of domestic violence in Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford Counties.

So, whether you are an experienced runner or simply interested in raising money for a good cause, we have a race selection for you! Strollers and well- behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.
