We had a fantastic day for our 28th Annual 1K Fun Run and 5K Road Race. 
 
This year we had a total of 269 registered runners, with 66 in the 1K Fun Run! You can find your race time result on the Granite State Race Services website here.
 
Congratulations to Nate Mulder, the overall boys 1K winner finishing at 3:06, and Ella Wilner, the overall girls 1K winner finishing at 3:09!  In the 5K race, Thomas Fries was the first to cross the finish line and placed first in the men’s division, while Kate Hastings placed first in the women’s division. 
Check out pictures from the day on KBIA’s facebook page.
 
If anyone missed receiving their award or pre-registered race t-shirt, you can pick up at the office.
 
A huge thank you goes out to Hannaford, Congdon’s Doughnuts, and Christian’s Cafe & Eatery for their generous donations to the race.  
 
And of course we can’t forget to express our gratitude to all the volunteers, runners, and spectators for making this such a special and fun day!
 
Like our course? Nicole’s Run, hosted on KBIA grounds and following our same 1K and 5K route, will be held Saturday, July 27 at 9AM. All funds raised will benefit Caring Unlimited domestic violence prevention programs, in memory of Kennebunk mother Nicole Oliver.
