Save Your Breath 5K

The Save Your Breath 5K is a fundraising running and walking event held in Augusta, Maine, at the Kennebec Valley YMCA. Scheduled for October 19, 2025, it offers multiple participation options including a live 5K run and walk, a student 5K timed run, and virtual 5K and walk events for remote participants. The course is a fast, relatively flat out-and-back route along the rail trail between the YMCA and scenic Adirondack chairs in Hallowell.

The event features music at the start/finish line, finisher medals for all participants, and a silent auction. Proceeds support Free ME from Lung Cancer’s mission, including research and patient assistance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
