Get ready to POUND THE PAVEMENT in support of those impacted by cancer! The 14th Annual Pound the Pavement returns on Sunday, October 4th — and it’s brighter, bigger, and more colorful than ever.
Pound the Pavement is a 5K untimed Color Fun Run/Walk where participants start dressed in white and finish covered head to toe in vibrant color. At every kilometer mark, runners and walkers are showered in a different burst of colored powder — creating a joyful, high-energy celebration from start to finish.
This year, we invite our younger pound the pavement participants to enjoy the full race course for their Pound the Pavement Junior “Mad Dash of Color” for kids ages 8 and under! Our youngest participants can run, walk or even dash the 3.1 miles and enjoy the full rainbow of color.
And the celebration doesn’t stop at the finish line.
After you cross, head over to Sea Dog to keep the party going! Enjoy music, photo ops, laughter, and a whole lot of community spirit as we celebrate together.
Pound the Pavement is more than a run — it’s a powerful show of support for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. This year, we are especially proud to honor cancer survivors in our community. Cancer survivors are invited to participate free of charge — simply select the Cancer Survivor option when registering, and we’ll be in touch to learn more about you.
Let’s come together, celebrate strength, and make this the most colorful year yet.
The FIRST 200 registered will get a FREE goodie bags. Goodie Bags have Visa Gift Cards randomly placed in the bags.
Register prior to September 1st and receive a FREE Pound the Pavement Tshirt.
All proceeds go to the Purple Iris Foundation and benefits those individuals living in Maine who are dealing with the effects of cancer. We provide support for individuals affected by all cancers!
