Race Overview:

Sunday, November 2nd in Kennebunk, Maine & Virtual Globally

Registration is now open! Join us on November 2nd, 2025 for an unforgettable event the whole family will enjoy along the scenic coast of southern Maine!

Proceeds from this event will go towards METAvivor to support stage 4 breast cancer research, Dana Farber Cancer Institute to support pediatric cancer research and to Cancer Can Suck a Cactus to support our mission to foster a global community that empowers and enables exercise—because research has shown that cancer hates exercise (read why below). 

Kennebunk racers

  • Start your race at the gorgeous Webhannet Golf Club, run along the Kennebunk coast, through charming neighborhoods & then back to the Club for post-race snacks (including Congdon's Doughnuts), beverages (including Kit NA beer) and finisher medals (plus cacti for our first place finishers in the 5/10k).
  • The course is distance certified and we will have professional timing!
  • Our 0.5k/1k kids race starts at 10:45am followed by the 5k/10k starting at 11am

Virtual racers
