5K (In Person) On November 7, 2026, join us for our annual 5K. Registration begins at 8 a.m. at Memorial Gym at 678 Main St., Sanford, ME. The race starts at 9 am and follows our beautiful course. The route is mainly flat, fast, and scenic, on roads and trails. We are family-friendly, offer post-race refreshments, and all proceeds support St. Thomas School. Participants with the best holiday costume will be eligible to win the "Best Costume Award." In addition, we will enter all participants into an "after the race" raffle!
*Winners will be announced at the award ceremony following the race.
