A traveling trophy (passed on to winners each year) and a gift certificate for a local restaurant will be awarded to the winners of this year’s Lobster Roll 5k Workplace Challenge. Previous winners include Compass Rose Events (2010), Lincoln County Healthcare (2011) and Boothbay Schools (2012).

The Workplace Challenge adds an additional level of friendly competition to the Lobster Roll 5k Walk/Run scheduled for July 27 at 8 a.m. Although you must have at least three members to qualify, there is no limit to how many more people can be registered for each team.

The lowest three times recorded for each team are added to get an overall score and the team with the lowest score wins the challenge. There is no additional cost to register as part of a team as opposed to registering as an individual. All teams and members must be registered before the race begins.

You can log on to www.lobsterroll5k.com to register for the race individually and indicate what team you will be running for. This annual race is a fundraiser for Community On Track and all proceeds will go toward the construction of an eight-lane outdoor community track for our student athletes and community members.
