9th Annual Westport Island Shore Run
The weather looks like it will be just perfect for the 9th Annual Westport Island Shore Run - “Maine’s Best Little 10K Road Race” – which takes place this year on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2013, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Sunny skies and mid-70s are predicted for race day! In this exciting 10K road race on bridge-accessible Westport Island, the runners will race on a USATF-certified course through scenic pine and fir tree forests and over two bridges spanning inlets to Heal Cove and Montsweag Bay.
There will also be a 3.5 mile "Fun Walk" starting at the Old Town Hall on the Main Road at 8:30 a.m. The race is to benefit the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, whose members will be directing traffic and providing logistical support at the race. Over the last eight years, the race has generated over $11,000.00 in proceeds for the Volunteer Fire Department.
Our 2013 sponsors include: Maine Yankee; Boothbay Region Boatyard; Sheepscot River Marine Service; Abbott, Inc.; Wiscasset Ford; Rynel; Newcastle Chrysler Dodge Jeep; Bath Savings Bank; Ames True Value Supply; Norm's Used Cars; Sharon Drake Real Estate; Baxter Brewing Company; Hampton Inn of Bath; Road ID; and the First Federal Savings Bank.
Come join us in celebrating the contributions made by the brave men and women of the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, and participate in the race, the "fun walk," or just come cheer!"
