18th Annual Save Our Swinging Bridge 5K & 2K Family Walk

Early registrations are now being accepted for the 18th annual Save Our Swinging Bridge 5K run/walk and 2K family walk.

The event will start at 10 a.m., Sunday, June 12, on Main Street in Topsham’s lower village.

 

The 3.1-mile road race course, certified by USA Track and Field, crosses the Androscoggin River into downtown Brunswick and recrosses the river via the Swinging Bridge before traversing Topsham Heights and returning to the finish line in Topsham’s lower village.

The 2K Family Walk will follow the Androscoggin Riverwalk in Topsham.

Through May 27, pre-registration rates of $20 for adults and $15 for youths 17 and under will apply. After that date, registration fees will increase to $25 for adults and $20 for youths 17 and under.

Participants can register on-line at www.saveourbridge.org. Registration forms also are available at the recreation departments in Brunswick and Topsham.

The first 100 people to register will receive t-shirts. Prizes also will be awarded to the top male and female finishers as well as the top finishers in 10 different age groups for men and women.

 

NO AWARDS CEREMONY. Owing to Covid19 protocols we will not have an awards ceremony this year. Top three finisher male and female  award baskets will be handed out immediately. On the other hand, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finisher (age category) certificates will be mailed.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Save Our Swinging Bridge. Org, a non-profit organization set up to maintain and beautify the historic Swinging Bridge, one of the few remaining suspension pedestrian bridges in Maine.
