Rangeley Health and Wellness’s annual Stars and Stripes 5K Run/Walk and Family Fun Run is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 4.
The race will start and finish at the Rangeley Chamber of Commerce building on Main Street.
The course, which includes both paved surfaces and trail running takes participants through downtown Rangeley. The 5K route is challenging enough for serious runners yet can be navigated by all age groups and athletic levels, according to a news release from Rangeley Health and Wellness.
Strollers are not safe for the 5K but encouraged for the Family Fun Run. Leashed pets are welcome.
Awards for first female and male 5K finishers will be presented, along with the first child (younger than 10) finisher. Patriotic-themed outfits are encouraged.
All proceeds benefit support services provided by Rangeley Health and Wellness including children’s and senior wellness programs, physical rehabilitation, and behavioral health services.
