2026 - 13th Annual Race

This race is in memory of Matthew Rairdon, whose life was tragically taken in November 2013. When preparing to go to college, Matt was extremely appreciative to receive a scholarship to attend St. Joseph's College. The intent of this scholarship fund is to help other people who want to pursue a nursing education at St. Joseph's. The first scholarship was awarded in the fall of 2014, and now we award 2 scholarships annually.

Here are the details for this year's race:

1. Packet Pickup will be done over 2 evenings, from 4-6 pm on Thursday, July 16th and Friday, July 17th at BreaLu, 511 Main Street in Westbrook.

2. We have a water station on the course route.

3. We will have an awards ceremony in the park after the race.

4. "Matt's Mile" is a short fun run for children, located in the park. The race is for children age 10 and under and will be split into 2 heats: first 1-5 year olds, and then 6-10 year olds. If you want a t-shirt that is smaller than a Youth Small, please email us at [email protected] with your request. Make sure to write Matt's Mile T-Shirt Request in the Re: line.

5. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the course every year. We will have Westbrook Strong Dog Bandanas available for sale at packet pick up and in the park during race day. They are $5 each. You can pay with Venmo or cash.

This year's charitable gift recipient will be Safe Voices. Safe Voices currently operates the only shelter and support services for victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking and exploitation in Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties. If you want more information on them, please go to their website: www.safevoices.org

Thank you for 13 years of support - the Rairdon Family very much appreciates it. Westbrook Strong!

About the Race

Portland’s first multisport race for children, The Portland Kids Duathlon, is presented by Benchmark Real Estate. The race gives young people ages 3-12 an opportunity to participate in the fast-growing world of multi-sport racing. The run, bike, run format of a duathlon is fun and approachable, a great race for non-swimmers and triathletes alike. A bike only event for our youngest athletes as well as those with special needs makes the event even more accessible. All young athletes will finish the race with a smile on their face, a medal around their neck, and a boost of self-confidence and pride. All profits from this race will be donated to the Foundation for Portland Public Schools. Both in-person and virtual race options available.

Course

Transition will be at the triangle in front of Payson Park with separate transition areas for each race. We are on Baxter Boulevard with out-and-back bike courses on the road and out-and-back runs on the trail. Courses will parallel each other to make for easy viewing for spectators. All roads will be traffic free.

NOTE: All participants will need to purchase an annual membership with the USA Triathlon (USAT) for an additional $10. This is because our race is sanctioned and supported by USAT. See details below. USAT has now made this a one time fee.

About USAT

The Portland Kids Duathlon is USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned event. This means that not only do you have the confidence to know that the race will be safe, sanctioned, and insured but also that we follow a uniform set of rules with other USAT events. The term “sanction” refers to the compliance of a multisport event to USA Triathlon’s safety requirements. Safety plans, course maps, and event details must be submitted for review by USA Triathlon staff. It further requires our race director undergo an annual background check and maintain a certification from the U.S. Center for SafeSport. As a member, you also have access to discounts from many of USAT's partners including sports related products and travel companies. Those are found once you've created an account and then added and logged in to your child's account at https://member.usatriathlon.org/.

The 47th annual Sebago Days celebration will again include a road race open to both runners and walkers. It'll be a 5-kilometer out-and-back course on Route 11, starting near the intersection of Route 114, and the course will be closed to traffic.

T-shirts to the first 150 entrants in the 5K.

Registration through March 31 is $25. The entry fee for adults increases to $35 on April 1 but remains $24 for ages 17 and under, and race-day registration for everyone is $40.
