From the Organizer
Join us for the 2nd Annual Horseshoe Crab Run/Crawl in Franklin, Maine!
This scenic 5K begins at the Franklin Town Office and heads out for an unforgettable coastal run. The course starts with a gently downhill mile along Route 200 before turning left onto Cards Crossing, where you’ll take on the largest hill of the race. At the crest, take a moment to look left and enjoy sweeping views of the ocean below. From there, the course turns back downhill and carries you onto the Sunrise Trail, wrapping up a challenging and beautiful run through Downeast Maine.
Celebrate your finish with a hot breakfast after the race! Cost is $10, with a $5 discount for registered runners.
Race bib pickup will take place on Friday, July 18, from 3:00–5:00 PM, and on race day from 7:00–7:45 AM.
