About the event

On August 14, 2027, lace up your running shoes and join the vibrant atmosphere of Dexter's Annual Maine Red Hot Dog Festival with its lively 5K race. This event is not only an opportunity to enjoy a scenic run but also serves as excellent hill training for those gearing up for the MDI Marathon in the fall.
The route begins at Millside Fitness on Main Street, winding through charming town streets before looping back to conclude where it started. A notable change from previous years is the reversed course direction, ensuring that runners no longer have to navigate around vendors setting up their stalls, making for a safer and smoother experience.
Early registrants who sign up by July 18 will receive a guaranteed t-shirt in their preferred size; however, sizes are not assured if you register after this date. Every participant will be awarded with a finisher's medal upon crossing the line, while the top three male and female runners will also take home prizes (details to be announced).
Same-day registration opens at 6:30 a.m., providing ample time for last-minute sign-ups before the race starts promptly at 7:45 a.m. The event is designed with safety in mind; should extreme weather or unforeseen circumstances require cancellation, refunds will not be issued.
For more information about the festival and its other exciting activities, visit www.redhotdog.org. This year's Dexter Red Hot Dog Festival promises to blend athletic competition with community spirit, making it a memorable day for runners of all levels.
Enjoy your run in one of Maine’s most picturesque settings!
