The weather was cool and only a sprinkling of rain greeted the participants of the 19th annual Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race on Sunday, Aug. 18 on bridge-accessible Westport Island, Maine.

"Maine's Best Little 10K Road Race" had a great turnout with over 50 runners and more than 10 participants in the "fun walk."  The race benefited the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, whose members directed traffic and provided logistical and medical support at the race. Over the past 19 years, the race has raised over $33,000 for the Westport Island firefighters, and once the proceeds are tallied, we hope to increase that total contribution significantly!  The race was computer timed by 5K Sports Management for the 19th straight year.  We had a great award ceremony and fun raffle prize giveaway.

Our sponsors this year were: 

Platinum Level - Sheepscot River Marine Service; Maine Yankee; First Federal Savings Bank; First National Bank of Maine.

Gold Level - MGC Law.

Silver Level - Ames True Value Hardware; Bath Savings Bank.; R.E. Blood Boatworks; Sasanoa Brewing; Pamela's World Jewelers.
