We are saddened to announce that the 16th annual running of the Westport Island Shore Run, “Maine’s Best Little 10K Road Race” previously scheduled for Aug. 16, has been cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation, and our concern for the health and safety of our many runners, walkers and friends has been our top priority.  

While the situation in Maine has been improving over the past several weeks, many of our runners have traditionally also come from outside Maine. We have decided that, in an abundance of caution and for the safety and well-being of everyone, including runners, walkers, family and friends, we must cancel this year's race.    

Our hearts and thoughts go out to those affected by this unprecedented challenge and we appreciate all of the health care workers and others in local communities, the town of Westport Island, the State of Maine and elsewhere in the nation and world who are on the front line working to contain the virus and help those afflicted.

The next Westport Island Shore Run 10K Road Race is Sunday, Aug. 15, 2021! Registration will open April 1, 2021 at www.westportisland.org

Join us in running or walking the course in support of the Westport Island Volunteer Firefighters.  

Thanks for your support – and keep running!
