Proceeds of the Save Our Swinging Bridge 5K continue to benefit the maintenance fund of Save Our Swinging Bridge.Org, a 501(c)3 non-profit formed to ensure the maintenance and beautification of our historic bridge. Originally designed and built by the Roebling Co., (legendary designers and constructors of wire rope suspension bridges) in 1892 and 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. 
 
"With the help of runners, walkers, volunteers and community businesses we’ll keep this bridge swinging far into the future," Nancy E. Randolph, Race Coordinator and Treasurer for Save Our Swinging Bridge.Org, a 501(c)3 formed to maintain and beautify the Swinging Bridge and its environment.
