The Save Our Swinging Bridge 5K is a challenging USATF certified & sanctioned 5K (3.1 mile) course, starting in Topsham’s lower village, crossing the river into Brunswick, traveling south on Mill Street to recross the river on the historic swinging bridge, then up one hill and down the other, returning to Topsham’s lower village.

For nearly twenty years, Save Our Swinging Bridge.Org has held our annual 5K run to ensure the maintenance and beautification of the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge. Originally designed and built by the Roebling Co., (legendary designers and constructors of wire rope suspension bridges) in 1892, it was rehabilitated in 2006. One of the few remaining and active pedestrian suspension bridges, spanning the Androscoggin River, this bridge played a vital role in the economic and cultural development of the towns of Brunswick and Topsham.
