We had great weather for the 21st Annual Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race, which took place on Sunday, August 16, 2026 on bridge-accessible Westport Island, Maine.  We had sunny skies and cool temperatures for the annual running of "Maine's Best Little 10K Road Race" that benefitted the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, whose members directed traffic and provided logistical and medical support at the race again this year.  To date, over the past 20 years, the race has raised almost $40,000 for the Westport Island firefighters!  In addition to the 10K road race, there was a well attended 3.5 mile "fun walk."  

The full results of the race are at: WISR 2026 Results.  The top finishers were:

3rd Place Male - Christian Puma Nina - Brunswick, Maine
