Welcome to the 10th annual Reiche International 5K Road Race!

Sunday, October 29, 2017, 9:30am

Join us for a beautiful 5 kilometer run through Portland’s scenic West End neighborhood at the peak of the Fall season. The race supports Maine’s most ethnically diverse elementary school, Reiche Community School, by funding enrichment programs aimed at physical activity and inclusion.

We will again feature a centipede division—open to three or more closely attached runners.

As always, participants are invited to wear a costume and walkers are welcome!

The race starts and ends at Reiche Community School. The well-marked single loop course begins on Brackett Street and continues through the streets of the West End including Chadwick, Neal, Pine and Spring Streets. It includes one climb—behind the Western Prom Cemetery. Otherwise it’s fast and flat.

High quality T-shirt for all registered runners before Oct 1st!

Prizes awarded for all ages!

*This year’s theme is: HALLOWEEN (wear your favorite costume!)
