Eliot Festival Road Race

The Eliot Festival 5K Road Race, held in Eliot, Maine, is a fast and competitive event that kicks off the town's annual festival celebration. Starting and finishing at the newly renovated Eliot Town Hall parking lot, the well-marked course runs through scenic, rural byways with police escort. The race welcomes runners, walkers, and strollers, but no dogs or bikes.

Awards include cash prizes for top finishers and medals for all age group winners. Post-race festivities feature refreshments and access to the broader Eliot Festival Days events, including a parade, kids' fun run, crafts, and music. Proceeds support local food and fuel assistance programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
