The Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race Takes Place This Year on Sunday, August 18, 2024!
The 19TH ANNUAL WESTPORT ISLAND SHORE RUN 10K ROAD RACE takes place on SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2024, on bridge-accessible Westport Island, Maine. This exciting race takes place on a beautiful USATF-certified course that winds through scenic pine and fir tree forests and over two bridges spanning inlets to Heal Cove and Montsweag Bay. The race, sanctioned by USATF, benefits the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, whose members directed traffic and provided logistical support at the race. Over the past eighteen years, the event has generated over $32,000 in proceeds for the volunteer firefighters.
Our official course computer timer Jim McCorkle and his company 5K Sports Management will again time our event for the 19th year in a row! There will be mile markers on the course, water stations every two miles, and post-race refreshments. There will also be post-race award ceremony was exciting and the raffle prize giveaway was enjoyed by all! The Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department will be on site to keep the runners safe from local traffic on the course, and to provide any needed medical attention.
Our sponsors this year include: Maine Yankee; First Federal Savings Bank; MGC - McAngus, Goudelock & Courie LLC; Bath Savings Bank; First National Bank of Maine; Sheepscot River Marine Service; R.E.
