Event Description

Please join us for our 4th annual John Andrews Memorial 5K – Saturday, May 16th  – 9:00 AM sponsored by O’Reilly’s Cure. This event is in honor of John Andrews, Eastern Trail founder, mentor and friend and benefits the Eastern Trail Alliance.

John's vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990s. He was persistent, but patient, and made tremendous progress in a relatively short amount of time. After starting this amazing effort, John lived on the trail, used the trail, and guided countless others to understand and appreciate this great resource. Sadly, John passed away in February 2017.

Proceeds from this event benefit the Eastern Trail Alliance (ETA), an organization dedicated to building a 65-mile off road transportation and recreation greenway from Kittery to South Portland, Maine and will go directly to support the ETA’s trail development campaigns. With 22 miles currently off road, our goal is to raise awareness and funds to continue John’s vision of filling in the gaps and adding more miles to the off road trail sections.

Registration fees are $20 prior to the event, $25 on the day of the event. For those over 21, one beer or glass of wine is included with registration fee. Complimentary race shirts available for anyone registering before midnight on April 28th.

Additional donations towards trail development in honor of John Andrews are appreciated.

Online registration will close at 6pm on Friday, May 15th. 

Participants will be able to avoid the crowds and pick up their race bibs and T-shirt (if ordered before midnight 4/28) ahead of the race on Friday, May 15th, between 4 and 6 pm at O'Reilly's Cure Restaurant, 264 Route 1, Scarborough. 

Race day packet-pick up, check in and on-site registration will be at O’Reilly’s Cure, 264 Route 1, Scarborough from 7:30 to 8:15am on Saturday, May 16th. Please plan to arrive for sign-in an hour before the race starts.
