RegisterAfter a very successful 2024 race, we are excited to invite you to another live Save Your Breath and Silent Auction Event for 2025. There will be lots of auction items to bid on again. There is the option to run or walk a 5k or enter your child into an abbreviated children's fun run. Due to its popularity we have retained a virtual run for those who would rather run their race their way or cannot travel to Augusta to participate in the live chip timed event by Brian Berkemeyer at"Run In A Race." Details are below on numerous discount codes that are offered for this upcoming event.
Enjoy the music at the start/finish line before and after you take part in this fast and relatively flat out and back 5k on the rail trail between the Y and the picturesque adirondack chairs in Hallowell.
The award ceremony and silent auction will be held, yet again, at YMCA and will begin once all participants have returned to the gym. All winners must be present to receive their award. All participants will receive a finishers medal.
Event tee shirts will be ordered on September 19th. Any registrations after that date will not receive an event tee shirt.
This event is a fundraiser to help support Free ME from Lun Cancer's mission ~ research, help uninsured high risk patients get access to early lung detection via low dose CT scans, help single family low income homeowners get access to radon air abatement systems, transportation to medical appointments and treatment for our rural communities, and patient support and care. Please consider making an extra donation when you register or set up a fundraising page so that your family, friends and coworkers can support your run.
We have a number of discounts we are able to provide this year which are listed below. If you qualify, please reach out too Deb at lung.support@gmail.com to receive the coupon code. Coupon codes cannot be combined.
This is the only event we will be holding to support our foundation's programs. On-line donations are processed at 4%. This supports RunSignUp portal. Free ME from Lung Cancer will be absorbing the race processing fees again this year.
We are all looking forward to seeing you all down at the finish on October 19th. Any questions please contact Deb Violette at 207-215-9035.We are all looking forward to seeing you all down at the finish line on October 19th. Any questions please contact Deb Violette at 207-215-9035.
