The Autism Challenge 5K will be held Saturday, April 18 at the Presque Isle Middle School track.
The first event of the CompetitorME Distance Race Series, the Autism Challenge includes a free 1-Mile Kids Fun Run and 5K (3.1 mile) run or walk.
Registration is from 8:30-9:30 a.m., with the Kids Fun Run beginning at 9:30 a.m., and the 5K beginning at 10 am. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
This is a fully supported running race, with an event athletic shirt and finishers medal for everyone.
Entry is $20 per person; children 18 years and younger, $10. Volunteers are needed, with one lucky volunteer winning two free tickets to see Train at the Bangor Waterfront on June 18.
Additionally, CompetitorME is launching Project RUN, a community initiative to collect gently used or new kids sneakers for boys and girls. The sneakers will then be distributed on a needed basis to children in need with the donator receiving a discount coupon code to any upcoming CompetitorME event.
