WELCOME TO THE PORTSMOUTH 5K

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR REGISTERING WITH US IN 2026!

Join us in Portsmouth for a flat and fast 5K! This legacy road race is a community-wide fundraising event for the Krempels Brain Injury Center. Post-race festivities will feature snacks, a post race pint, and wonderful company.

#RunForBrainInjury

The Portsmouth 5K is one of Krempels Brain Injury Center's largest community fundraisers, having raised over a million dollars for the nonprofit. Krempels Brain Injury Center, located in Portsmouth, NH, is dedicated to improving the quality of life of people living with brain injury. Over 80% of members receive financial aid from Krempels Brain Injury Center to attend programs, with 50% attending for free. Proceeds from fundraising and sponsorships go directly towards programming to help survivors with skill building and social connection to improve their quality of life following brain injury.


Your support now is more important than ever.


On behalf of Krempels Brain Injury Center and our trusted partners and sponsors, we thank you for your participation!

    Each year, the 10K Road Race gets the Market Square Day celebration off on the right foot. With a starting line in the heart of Downtown Portsmouth, the Race typically draws nearly 1,000 runners who wind their way through the streets of Portsmouth ending with the finish line at historic Strawbery Banke.

    In 2005, we joined forces with other area races to create the Seacoast Road Race Series. From May through November, runners participate in races ranging in distance from 5K – 10K in communities throughout the Seacoast. The Series creates healthy (literally) competition and serves to introduce runners to a variety of races. The Series expanded to seven races and continues its popular ‘run’ with new and seasoned athletes.

    FIRE CHIEF DARIN J. SABINE

    Newington Fire Chief Darin Sabine was born on August 4, 1984 in Newington, NH and his last

    alarm was on September 7, 2019 after a 2-year battle with colon cancer.

    Chief Sabine was diagnosed in early 2017 with Stage 4 colon cancer. He had spent much of his

    short time here on earth either with family or at the fire station. He was dedicated to his family and

    brotherhood. He fought hard to spend as much time as he could with his wife and 2 little girls.

    Our hope with this run is that we will keep Chief Sabine’s memory alive and raise funds to support first responders and their families who have been affected by cancer or other life-threatening illnesses or injuries. The race length of 3.3 miles is in honor of Newington Fire Department 33.

    MISSION OF THE SABINE STRONG FOUNDATION 33

    The mission of Sabine Strong Foundation 33 is to raise funds to help support first responders and their families affected by cancer or other life-threatening illnesses or injuries.

    The Sabine Strong Foundation 33 is a qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under EIN #86-1644745.
