About this race
The Wells Chamber of Commerce is hosting our 13th Annual Wells Veterans Day 5k. Proceeds will once again benefit Honor Flight Maine.
Run (or walk) your own 5k (3.1 miles) on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
The cost to enter is $25 (adults 18+), $15 (students 11-17) and kids (10 and under) are free (RunSignUp fees are extra). As in past years, the first 100 paying registrants will receive a men's long-sleeve t-shirt.
The details on the original race route are posted below (under directions). The start and finish is the Trailblazer's Family Club located at 102 Bills Lane in Wells. The 5K loop takes you through beautiful, remote back roads of Wells. The course is considered flat, which is great for those either looking to set a new PR and/or for first-time 5K'ers.
