Recurring 5K races near Lewiston-Auburn
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Peace Ridge Sanctuary’s 5k Run for the Animals & 1 Mile Fun Walk
Peace Ridge Sanctuary’s 5k Run for the Animals & 1 Mile Fun Walk takes place on World Animal Day at the Northeast Equine Sanctuary, located on the Albion-Freedom border in Maine. This is a small, family-friendly trail event offering two straightforward options: a 3.1-mile run and a 1-mile walk. The event’s purpose is direct fundraising for Peace Ridge Sanctuary’s ongoing rescue operations, covering food, care, medical treatment, and future rescues for animals that may include pets, wildlife, farm animals, horses, and ponies.
The route follows sanctuary trails, winding alongside animal enclosures, allowing participants to pass through fields and forest with the rescued animals in proximity. The day is structured more as a sanctuary gathering than a typical road race. Activities include outdoor yoga and meditation before the start, Animal Yoga for children afterward, and a vegan BBQ served around midday. Sponsor tables, treats, giveaways, a raffle, corn-hole, scavenger hunts, face painting, opportunities to spend time with the horses, and vegan-friendly prizes for top fundraisers and 5K finishers complete the day.
Waterville Marathon - Full/Half/10K/5K - Running Festival
The Waterville Marathon Running Festival starts and finishes at Thomas College in Waterville, Maine, offering four race options: a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The event accommodates various runners, whether they aim for a 26.2-mile marathon, a 13.1-mile half, or a shorter road race. Pine Tree Racing Services provides timing, and the absence of a time limit makes the longer distances accessible for walkers and slower runners.
The courses follow Route 104, venturing into the countryside near Waterville, Sidney, and Oakland before returning to Thomas College. Runners may leave personal bottles at the start-area operations tent, and these will be placed on a designated table at water stations. Maine Endurance Sports Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, organizes the event, which is undergoing USATF sanctioning and Boston certification. The festival also links to regional challenge medals, such as Run the Moose, Run the Highlands, and the Vacationland Triple Crown for participants completing specific race combinations.
Waterford Fall Foliage 5K Road Race & 1 Mile Fun Run
The Waterford Fall Foliage 5K Road Race begins and ends on the Waterford Common. Before the main race, a 1 Mile Fun Run is held for children aged 12 and under; this run is free. The 5K race starts at noon. This event is a local road race, centered on a fall gathering on the Common and a simple local course.
The 5K follows an out-and-back path along Route 35/37, going to Sweden Road and returning to the Common. The race has taken place for over twenty-four years. Proceeds benefit the Tony Waldeier Scholarship Fund, providing scholarships to seniors at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School. A chili cook-off fundraiser organized by the Waterford Harrison PTO is also part of the day, making the race a fundraiser for both running and the school community.
Cranmore Mountain Race
The Cranmore Mountain Race sends runners up and down Cranmore Mountain in North Conway, New Hampshire, with the main race covering about 10 kilometers over two laps. It is an October mountain race, not a road race with a hill thrown in: the route uses ski slopes, mountain bike single track, and gravel service roads, so runners climb, descend, and change footing throughout the day.
The two-lap race is part of the USATF-New England Mountain Racing Circuit, while a one-lap option gives runners about 5 kilometers on the same up-and-down terrain. The event has hosted five US Mountain Running Championships, which says a lot about the course’s credibility, and the current setup includes cash prizes, one aid station near the start and finish area, and USATF rules that ban poles and headphones.
Save Your Breath 5K
Holistic Hustle 5K/10K
Holistic Hustle is a small trail race at Emmons Preserve in Kennebunkport, with timed 5K and 10K run/walk options plus a student event for ages 13 and under. The morning schedule starts with registration, then the 10K, kids fun run, 5K run/walk, and finally awards and the raffle. It is in its fourth annual running and is organized around School Around Us, a 501(c)(3) co-learning community founded in 1970 for students ages 5 to 14.
The course uses the preserve’s trail setting, with venue and trail maps provided through Emmons Preserve. First-place overall male and female runners are awarded in both the 5K and 10K, but the event also makes room for walkers, families, and children doing either a timed 5K or a half-mile fun run. The morning includes music, face painting, yard games, Congdon’s doughnuts, cookies, hot chocolate, Wicked Joe coffee, wood-burned finisher medals for all participants, and a raffle with local gift cards and prizes, some valued up to $250.
I Heart Biddeford 5K
Panther 5K Pi Run
The Panther 5K Pi Run is a 3.14-mile race in Yarmouth, Maine. It starts and finishes in front of North Yarmouth Academy’s lower school on Main Street. This is a morning event with race-day registration available. A virtual race option is also offered for those who wish to participate remotely.
The route primarily follows paved footpaths, crossing bridges, entering the park, running alongside the river, and passing through the woods. The finish line is located just past the historic mill. All proceeds benefit the NYA Class of 2027 Project Graduation. The top three male and female finishers each receive a fresh pie from Clayton’s Cafe, fitting the Pi Run theme.
3rd Annual Turkey Trot - 5K Run/Walk
The Turkey Trot is a 5K run/walk starting at 14 Lower Tarbox Road in Hollis, Maine. This is the third year for the event, designed for those who wish to run, walk, or bring their family to a short, local race.
The event is introducing a children’s price to encourage greater youth participation, aligning with its aim to establish the Turkey Trot as a family tradition. All entry fees are retained within the event and recreation program; each dollar raised supports the next 5K and strengthens community recreation in Hollis.
Ugly Sweater 5K 2026
Dash for Dogs 5k Run or Walk
Dash for Dogs is an annual 5K in Maine. Participants can run or walk the course with their dogs, without dogs, or virtually. A separate option is available for children under 8; dogs are not permitted in the kids' event.
The in-person route follows the Androscoggin Riverwalk path. The event supports animal care, with entry fees benefiting local and regional dogs in need. The supported organization offers shelter, food, medical care, behavioral support, and daily care for dogs and other companion animals. As one of Maine's races allowing dogs, practical rules are enforced: dogs require current vaccinations and must be on non-flex leashes.
Dash for the Derby 5K
It's Kentucky Derby Day. Join the Dash for the Derby 5K. Walkers are welcome. This race donates to "A RUNNING PASSION." Cash prizes for overall winners, plus post-race refreshments and awards at Marathon Sports. This may be a virtual event.

About 5K races in Lewiston-Auburn
Lewiston-Auburn Training Notes
Lewiston-Auburn hosts 39 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the L-A Bridge Run line when they want downtown legs and a real Lewiston-Auburn feel. The city centre gives that 5K its shape as it weaves through downtown Lewiston and Auburn and closes the Greater L-A Triple Crown 5K Series. Lake Auburn Half Marathon & 5K starts 1 km from the city and works as the scenic anchor event. Waterbrook House Trail gives runners another named route. Minot Community Park Trails host the PRHS XC Alumni Race. Locals have no named run club in this brief, so the summer race calendar does the meet-up work.
Locals ride with Maine Cycling Club when they want company, wheels, and regroup points. Maine Cycling Club runs a Monday 6:00 PM very easy pace, no drop ride from 46 Harriman Dr in Auburn. Maine Cycling Club runs a Wednesday 6:00 PM faster paced ride from the same Auburn start. Maine Cycling Club runs a Saturday 8:00 AM varied paced ride from Rainbow Bicycles in Lewiston. Lewiston has 18 cycling routes that total 252 km. The shortest route is 2 km with 159 m ascent. Elmwood Road routes are where the short, punchy climbing lives.
Summer owns the rhythm here. The Greater LA Triple Crown 5K Series happens over the summer, and the Moxie Day 5K runs in summer too. Lake Auburn gives runners a clean half-marathon target, while Maine Cycling Club keeps Monday Z2, Wednesday faster work, and Saturday varied pace on the board. Winter shifts the feel for both sports because the brief gives no winter anchor race or ride series. Locals still have the same named routes, but the season turns the focus toward simple base miles, steady intervals, and whatever conditions allow.
