This is one of the few fundraising events PRS holds each year. The funds raised are crucial for providing food, care, and medical treatment to our rescued animals, as well as for rescuing more in need. Many of our animals have come from severe cases of cruelty, teaching us about resilience and forgiveness. We deeply appreciate your support and any additional fundraising efforts you choose to do.

LOCATION: The Northeast Equine Sanctuary is location on the border of Albion & Freedom, Maine amid lush green landscape mixed with fields and forests, making it the perfect spot for this compassionate cause. There are endless stunning views surrounded by several gorgeous horses and ponies. By October this area will be bursting with beautiful warm fall foliage.

RACE/WALK: The race features a 5k trail run (3.1 miles) and a 1-mile trail walk, open to all fitness levels. Participants will run or walk through beautiful, natural scenery, winding along the enclosures and enjoying the calm presence of the animals as they go about their peaceful lives.

EVENT ACTIVITIES: Outdoor Pre-Run Yoga for all levels and Animal Yoga for kids after the race. Delicious vegan BBQ courtesy of one of our top sponsors Veggie Life.

Get ready to POUND THE PAVEMENT in support of those impacted by cancer! The 14th Annual Pound the Pavement returns on Sunday, October 4th — and it’s brighter, bigger, and more colorful than ever.

Pound the Pavement is a 5K untimed Color Fun Run/Walk where participants start dressed in white and finish covered head to toe in vibrant color. At every kilometer mark, runners and walkers are showered in a different burst of colored powder — creating a joyful, high-energy celebration from start to finish.

This year we’re excited to bring back an expanded route and the Pound the Pavement Junior “Mad Dash of Color” for kids ages 8 and under! Before the main event kicks off, little runners can enjoy their own colorful dash, plus games and prizes.

And the celebration doesn’t stop at the finish line.

After you cross, head over to Sea Dog to keep the party going! Participants will receive two complimentary beverages, and this includes adult beverages for those 21+! Enjoy music, photo ops, laughter, and a whole lot of community spirit as we celebrate together.

Pound the Pavement is more than a run — it’s a powerful show of support for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. This year, we are especially proud to honor cancer survivors in our community. Cancer survivors are invited to participate free of charge — simply select the Cancer Survivor option when registering, and we’ll be in touch to learn more about you.

Let’s come together, celebrate strength, and make this the most colorful year yet.

The FIRST 200 registered will get a FREE goodie bags. Goodie Bags have Visa Gift Cards randomly placed in the bags.

Register prior to September 1st and receive a FREE Pound the Pavement Tshirt.

All proceeds go to the Purple Iris Foundation and benefits those individuals living in Maine who are dealing with the effects of cancer. We provide support for individuals affected by all cancers!
