Run Wild! 5K and 5 Miler

Center for Wildlife Studies is holding its 3rd annual 5K & 5 Mile fundraiser in cooperation with Marshall Wharf Brewing Company in Belfast, Maine. Come join us for a fun run/walk on the Belfast Rail Trail. Marshall Wharf will host a post-race party featuring Grateful Dead music by DownEast Dead. We will award prizes for top finishers and best costumes. All race entrants will receive a ticket for one beer from Marshall Wharf. Come jam with us!

Funds from the race go to supporting wildlife conservation in Maine and the Center for Wildlife Studies' commitment to delivering community education programs in the region, encouraging environmental awareness and stewardship. This event is one of four events in the RunBelfast 2024 race series held in Belfast, Maine. The series includes: Paces for PAWS 5K - Jun 15; Rotary Bug Run 5K - August 17; Center for Wildlife Studies' Run Wild! 5K & 5 Miler - Sep 15; and Lions Ghostly Gallop - October 26.
