Organiser's Description
The Charles E Davis Independence Run is in its 55th year .There are two options (one choice) - a 7 mile run or a 4 mile walk. The event will be on Sunday June 29 with a 9AM start time. A person can sign up here (RunSignUp - much preferred) or register the day of the race between 7:30AM and 8:30AM at Shead HS, 89 High St., Eastport Maine,. Bib pick-up for all registrants is also at Shead High School between 7:30 and 8:30AM on June 29. All runners and walkers will be bused out to the respective start lines. The run starts in Perry at the junction of Route 1 and route 190 and ends on the Eastport Breakwater with the bulk of the race going along Route 190 (County Rd.). The 4 mile walk starts on Carlow Island on Route 190 and continues on the same route as the run and ends at the Breakwater.
The age groups will be in 10 year groups starting with below 18, 19-29 thru 70-79 with an 80+. Awards for the overall top 3 male and female and then only winners of age groups male and female. Only top walker will receive an award - one award. Any runner who is below the age of 18 will need a parent's permission.
BUS TRANSPORTATION will leave for the starting line from Shead HS at 8:40AM - if a runner or walker misses the bus they will be responsible for getting to the start lines on their own.
REGISTRATION DAY OF is $35 by cash or check. In person walk registrants must pay $20 by cash or check. There are no debit or credit card payments.
PLEASE NOTE FINANCIAL HELP: If any registrant has difficulty meeting the payment requirements ($30/run - $20/walk) please email Phil at [email protected] and some financial arrangement can be worked out. Financial insecurity WILL NOT be an impediment to participation. We will find a way for you to run or walk the race.
ALSO NOTE: There has been an increase in price for the run because income must stay in line with expenses. I believe this last increase ($25 to $30) should insure the solvency of the event.
Thank you - Phil
