Event Description

CWS is holding its 2nd annual 5K fundraiser in cooperation with Marshall Wharf Brewing Company in Belfast, Maine. Come join us for a fun run/walk on the Belfast Rail Trail and kick off the second day of the Maine Celtic Celebration. Following the race, Marshall Wharf will host an afterparty where CWS will hand out prizes to top finishers and best costumes. After the awards ceremony, cash in your beer tickets and listen to Down East Dead jam at the wharf!

Funds from the race will go to supporting wildlife conservation in Maine and our commitment to deliver community education programs in the region to encourage environmental awareness and stewardship.
