KENNEBUNKPORT — On Sunday, Oct. 18, the Nonantum Restort will host the the Wicked 5K Road Race, at 95 Ocean Ave. in Kennebunkport.

Walkers, joggers and runners of all levels and abilities are encouraged to participate. Costumes are not required, but certainly do add to the festivities.

Coordinated by event planners Lana Wescott and Brooke Sheldon, the race was established in 2010 as a way to have a healthy family activity while highlighting and supporting various local charities. Past race beneficiaries have included Operation Shower, Laudholm Farm, Caring Unlimited and Partners for World Health.

This year, the race is supporting the HB Fuel Fund, which helps local families struggling to pay their fuel bills. The money is given to fuel companies, who are able to identify those in need, so recipients are completely anonymous.

The race features an after party that includes a complimentary hearty lunch for all participants, and is just $10 for family and friends. All participants are entered in the drawing for raffle prizes, including restaurant gift cards, massage therapy, hand crafted arts and more.

The Kids 1K Fun Run is new this year. Entry fee is just $5 and all finishers will receive a medal. They will run just prior to the 5K, at 12:45 p.m. Adult registration for the 5K is $25 until 5 p.m. on Friday. Registration will reopen at 11 a.m. on Sunday at The Nonantum Resort and will be $29.
