Description

COVID 19 Update: Race Postponed to 2021 Dear Runners, It was our sincere hope that in postponing the Portland 10 Miler to September that we would be able to host the event in 2020. We have have put in many hours formulating event protocols and safety measures. But, we have come to the painful conclusion as a staff and with the City of Portland that it is simply not safe or realistic to host an event of this size ten weeks from now. All registrants will be automatically rolled into next year's Portland 10 Miler which is scheduled for Sunday, April 25, 2021 pending permit approval. There is no further action needed on your part. As always, the safety and health of our runners, volunteers and staff is our top priority. We’re thankful for each and every one of our participants and your support and understanding as we work towards sunnier days on the road together again. Sincerely, The Gray Matter Marketing TeamMatt and Drew This running road race in Portland, Maine features 10 coastal road and bike path-miles around Back Cove and the Eastern Promenade. The race starts at 10:00 AM. MISSION: A portion of each registration fee will be donated directly to our non-profit partner Spurwink who provides behavioral health and education services for children, adults and families.
