Eliot Festival Road Race

The Eliot Festival 5K Road Race takes place in Eliot, Maine, starting and finishing at the newly renovated Town Hall parking lot. This fast and competitive race features a well-marked course with police escort through scenic, rural byways, making it an excellent way to kick off the fall running season. Walkers and strollers are welcome, but dogs and bikes are not permitted.

The event offers cash prizes for the top three men and women finishers and medals for all age group winners. Post-race festivities include awards, refreshments, and access to the broader Eliot Festival Days activities such as a parade, kids' fun run, crafts, and music. Proceeds benefit local food and fuel assistance programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
