From the Organizer
The Stars and Stripes Event includes a 5K Run/Walk and a (free) Kids Fun Run. The course is paved and will take participants through the beautiful downtown of Rangeley, Maine. The scenic 5K route is challenging enough for serious runners, yet can be navigated by all age groups and athletic levels. Leashed pets are welcome and the route is stroller friendly! The race will start and finish with a beautiful view of the lake, at Rangeley Health and Wellness Pavilion on Dallas Hill Rd in Rangeley, Maine.
All 5k registrants will receive a Stars & Stripes T-shirt if registered before June 10, 2026. T-shirts are not included with Family Fun Run registrations but kids will receive a festive goody bag and an ice cream cone from the Frosty or The Farmers Daughter. Awards for first adult female and male 5K finishers will be presented, as well as first place girl and boy under 18. Patriotic themed outfits are strongly encouraged!
All Proceeds support the health and wellness initiatives of Rangeley Health and Wellness, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization.
