The 21st annual Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race takes place this year on Sunday, Aug. 16 on bridge-accessible Westport Island. "Maine's Best Little 10K Road Race" had a great turnout in 2025 with over 60 runners and more than 15 participants in the "fun walk." It was our biggest turnout in the race's history! The 21st anniversary running of the race will again benefit Westport Volunteer Fire Department, whose members direct traffic and provide logistical and medical support at the race. Over the past 20 years, the race has raised over $37,000 for the Westport Island firefighters!  

We have excellent sponsors this year, including Sheepscot River Marine Service; Maine Yankee; MGC Law; First National Bank of Maine; First Federal Savings Bank; Bath Savings Bank; R.E. Blood Boatworks; Sasanoa Brewing Co.; Ames True Value Hardware; Mass Challenge; and MIReBA.  

The race will be computer timed by 5K Sports Management for the 20th straight year.  There will be an award ceremony and fun raffle prize giveaway.

Come join us to race, to participate in the fun walk, and to celebrate the 21st running of the race and the Westport Island firefighters! Thank you!
