Portland Thanksgiving Day 4 miler
About this race
Please join us for a Southern Maine running tradition, the 45th Annual Portland Thanksgiving Day 4-Miler & Kids K. The 2 loop, certified 4 Miler course winds through Portland's Historic Old Port and Downtown Districts. The Kid's K (.62 miles) starts at Monument Sq, runs to the Court House and back to finish in front of City Hall.
This is an all volunteer effort. Proceeds to benefit Partners for World Health, Portland Trails, the St. Patrick’s Secondary School in Iten, Kenya and various area non - profits.
Our food drive, now in it's 41st year, will benefit Project Feed, an area emergency food pantry. Please consider bringing non-perishable items to donate on race day!
