Event summary

Join us for the Ben Bernier Memorial Run, Walk and Toss on Sunday, October 8th, 2023, at the picturesque Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Cumberland. This exciting event is designed to bring the community together while raising funds for those in need. With the stunning backdrop of peak fall foliage, participants can choose from a 5K timed trail race, a fun walk for the whole family, or a Kids Fun Run. For those who prefer a different kind of fun, there’s also disc golf to enjoy!

Beyond the races, the day promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with live music, delicious food from local food trucks, and refreshing beverages from Moderation Brewery. Even if you're not participating in the run or walk, you're invited to soak up the festivities and support the cause. Plus, attendees who raise $50 or more will receive a commemorative event T-shirt! Come out to celebrate community spirit, enjoy the beautiful fall weather, and make a difference together!
