UCan 5K & Kids Fun Run – A Community Tradition Continues
Join us on Saturday, August 29th as we proudly host the second year of the revived UCan 5K, a cherished community tradition held in loving memory of Candace Woolston. This meaningful event celebrates community spirit, wellness, and the enduring legacy of a beloved community member.
Participants will enjoy a scenic 5K course showcasing the natural beauty of Raymond, including picturesque views of Sebago Lake. The race will begin and end at Sheri Gagnon Memorial Park, traveling along familiar local roads that make this event both memorable and enjoyable for runners and walkers of all abilities.
In addition to the 5K, we are excited to offer a Kids Fun Run prior to the main event—providing our youngest community members an opportunity to participate and promote healthy, active lifestyles.
Proceeds from this year’s UCan 5K will directly benefit four outstanding organizations dedicated to strengthening our community.
We invite you to run, walk, and rally around this special cause as we continue building momentum in the second year of bringing this important tradition back to Raymond.
Registration is now open. Shirts are not guaranteed for participants who register after August 1st.
