The John Andrews Memorial 5K is a signature fundraising event of the Eastern Trail Alliance, a nonprofit that builds, maintains, and promotes the Eastern Trail, southern Maine’s premier multi-use greenway. Join us on Saturday, May 31, 2025 for a timed 3.1 mile trail run or walk along the scenic Eastern Trail followed by an awards ceremony to celebrate and acknowledge the top finishers. The race begins and ends in the Mill Brook Industrial Park (Saco, ME) with ample parking at Maine Molecular.

Registration fee is $35 per person, $40 day of the race.

Register on or before April 30 to receive a free race tech t-shirt. That’s correct, new this year, we are swapping out the usual cotton t-shirt for a tech tee!

John AndrewsThis race honors John Andrews, the Eastern Trail’s legendary founder, who passed away in 2017. John’s vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990s. He worked patiently and persistently for decades to put the Eastern Trail on the map throughout southern Maine. Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoy the trail every year. Your participation in this race and generous support enables the Eastern Trail Alliance to continue John’s mission, working to ensure the existing trail is well maintained, safe, and clean, and ultimately extended to Kittery through ongoing trail-building campaigns.
