The Great World Peace 5K
The Great World Peace 5K begins and ends at Hayford Park on 13th Street in Bangor, Maine. This 5K road race begins at 8:00 AM EDT, costs $30 to register, and has a straightforward goal: to promote good health while focusing on world peace. The course consists of a flat, fast double loop through Bangor streets, including 13th, Hammond, Dean, 14th, Frances, Manners, and Union. Mile markers and directional arrows are painted on the pavement, making the route simple to navigate. Maine Endurance Sports Alliance organizes the race as part of its broader efforts to support marathons, half marathons, 10Ks, and 5Ks in Maine communities like Bangor, Augusta, Waterville, and Lincoln. Volunteers and sponsors contribute to MESA races, with RunSignup managing official registration and race communications.
