BELFAST — RunBelfast 2019 begins on the Rail Trail with Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s Pendleton 5k on National Trails Day, June 1.

2019 will be the second ‘running’ of the RunBelfast series. Series sponsor, Damariscotta Bank and Trust, has renewed its commitment to the RunBelfast series. The financial instituation is joined this year by Journey to Health, a program of Waldo County General Hospital. And, the series has expanded with a sixth race, staged by Rollie’s, a fundraiser for Shriners Children’s Hospital.

All six events are open for registration – go to Runbelfast.org to secure your spot. Registration for the series is also an option and those runners will get a long-sleeve t-shirt.  

All of these events are meant to encourage participation, wellness and fun, according to RunBelfast 2019, in a news release. They are timed events and there are top age-group winners, but the style of the events is very inclusive and relaxed.  

The six events include: Coastal Mountains Land Trust, June 1; PAWS, June 22; Rotary July 20 and Aug 17; YMCA, September 15; and Rollie’s Run for Kids Oct 5.

The series is supported by the City of Belfast.
