Last year’s Moxie 5K Race attracted 439 runners (largest ever) from Arizona, California, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, most New England states, and Morocco.

The 17th annual Moxie Day 5K Road Race begins at 7:30 a.m. rain or shine. It is an early and quick scenic run through the outskirts of Lisbon Falls. The route includes two steep upgrades, one at the start and the second at the two-mile mark. The Moxie 5K Race begins and ends near Lisbon High School. The $15 preregistration and $20 day-of-race fee includes a free Moxie 5K Race t-shirt.

Prizes will be awarded to the first male and female finishers. Awards will also be given to the first- and second-place male and female finishers in the following age categories: 12 and under, 13-16, 17-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over. Additional awards will be given to the first male and female “Lisbon Resident” finishers!

There is also a Kids Pre-Race Fun Run starting at 7 a.m. where kids of all ages race and everyone receives a prize. Registration is $5.
