5K Bun Run

Come out and race for a good cause and stay for a fun filled day of activities, good music, good food and fun times!

You can run or walk this race. Strollers and leashed pets are also welcome. This is a 5k loop with hills, trails and road. It meanders through some woods and streets of Dexter and you start and finish right in the heart of downtown.

Support a Great Cause

All proceeds will support Heart of Maine Resource Center. The Heart of Maine Resource Center was founded in response to a need for community resources. Our mission is to connect our neighbors with the resources they need to thrive.

In the fall of 2020, we received the donation of the historic Bert Call Studio to house our nonprofit, and that December we received our 501(c)(3) status. The building has been gutted and renovations have begun, but we are in need of support to finish the first floor where the food hub will be located. As soon as we finish the food distribution floor, we will begin an open-shopping model for people to come and get the food when they need it and choose what is best for them and their households. We recognize that nourishing the community through food is only one way to address the needs of our community members. Our goal is to be a central location in town where we can connect people with the resources they need— whether it’s food, housing and heating assistance, educational opportunities, other clinical services, etc. For more information on HMRC visit theheartofmaine.org

    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!
