The weather was beautiful for the 20th annual Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race that took place on Sunday, Aug. 17 on bridge-accessible Westport Island, Maine.  

We had a great turnout for "Maine's Best Little 10K Road Race" with over 80 runners and walkers.  The 20th anniversary running of the race benefited the Westport Island Volunteer Fire Department, whose members directed traffic, provided logistical support, and otherwise did an excellent job helping out at the race!   

Many thanks to our great sponsors this year: Platinum Sponsors - Sheepscot River Marine Service, Maine Yankee, First Federal Savings Bank, MGC - McAngus, Goudelock & Courie LLC, and the First National Bank of Maine; Silver Sponsors:  Sasanoa Brewing, Bath Savings Bank, R.E. Blood Boatworks, and Ames True Value Hardware; and Bronze Sponsor - FormLabs.  The race was computer timed by Jim McCorkle of 5K Sports Race Management for the 20th straight year - another fantastic job! Thanks also to our awesome race volunteers: Marcy Axelrad and Jordan Whitney.
