Spring is late, but we are finally running outside again! The 15th Annual Save Our Swinging Bridge 5K run & 2K Family Walk is scheduled for Sunday, April 15th at 10 a.m. and we are looking forward to another beautiful morning run/walk.
For runners, the 5K race course is a challenging USAFT-sanctioned and certified 5K (3.1 mile) beginning in Topsham's Lower Village, immediately crossing into Brunswick's downtown, turning onto Mill Street running along the Androscoggin River, and then crossing the river at the historic Swinging Bridge. Once across the bridge runners traverse hills through the Topsham Heights Neighborhood and then back onto Summer Street to return to Topsham's Lower Village and the finish line (and food!).

The early registration fees are $20 for adults and $15 for youths aged 17 and under. Proceeds go directly to the maintenance fund for the bridge.
