One in Five 5K

April 28, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

The race route will begin at 180 West River Rd. In Waterville, Maine (Thomas College) and proceed north towards Kennedy Memorial Drive. The route turns around at Roland Street and back then past the start to Eaglewood Drive (the sports fields) and down the back way through campus to the finish line.
THE DETAILS:  On Sunday, April 28th at Thomas College in Waterville at 9:00 am, we anticipate over 600 people  running or walking in solidarity against the harsh reality of the impact of sexual violence in our Maine communities.   Inspired by the current Maine statistic of an estimated ONE in FIVE people in Maine have been affected by sexual violence (Muskie School of Public Policy, Maine Crime Victimizations Rates, 2011), the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center is hosting the 8th annual One in Five 5k race.

~This event is taking place in the month of April to honor Sexual Assault Awareness Month~
