One in Five 5K

On Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at FirstPark in Oakland at 9:00 am, people will be running or walking in solidarity against the harsh reality of the impact of sexual violence in our Maine communities. Inspired by the current Maine statistic of an estimated ONE in FIVE people in Maine have been affected by sexual violence (Muskie School of Public Policy, Maine Crime Victimizations Rates, 2011), the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center is hosting the 15th annual One in Five 5k race. You can choose to sign up for the virtual race which we have extended to May 10th, or you can join us at FirstPark on April 26th. This event is taking place in the month of April to honor Sexual Assault Awareness Month!

Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome! Strollers are welcome! Have questions? Check out our One in Five 5K Race Guide!

100% of the proceeds of this event will benefit the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center and its services for survivors of sexual abuse.  A fully staffed and highly trained Sexual Assault Support-line is available 24 hours a day,  Support groups, justice system advocacy, school-based prevention education, and Children’s Advocacy Center are all provided free of charge to the members of the Kennebec and Somerset counties’ communities in need.  Hundreds of people utilize these important services every year.

If you or someone you know needs help and wants to speak with one of our advocates, please call our 24-hour helpline: 1-800-871-7741.
