Raccoon Run 5K

Sunday, June 20, 2027Portland, ME5K

Experience a classic, no-frills race experience at the Raccoon Run 5K in Portland, Maine. This traditional event features a scenic off-road course starting at Baxter Boulevard with great competition and none of the modern race gimmicks. Participants can enjoy beautiful T-shirts, useful pint glass awards for overall and age group winners, and classic plain water at the finish. The race proudly supports the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and even welcomes well-behaved dogs on the course. Expect plenty of old-school charm, including bad jokes from the race director to kick off your morning.
