Gear up for the scenic Blue Lobster 4 Miler, set to take place on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in the charming coastal town of Kennebunk, Maine. This beloved 4-mile out-and-back race kicks off from Kennebunk Elementary School and guides participants along the picturesque Eastern Trail, offering a refreshing and enjoyable experience for both competitive runners and enthusiastic walkers. It's a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself, whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply soaking in the beautiful Maine summer.

The Blue Lobster 4 Miler is more than just a race; it's a community-focused event that proudly supports the Kennebunk High School XC and Track Boosters. Participants can vie for cash prizes awarded to overall winners, as well as accolades across various age groups and team categories. For those who didn't get into the popular Beach to Beacon 10K, or simply seek a dynamic double, this race offers an excellent alternative with a welcoming atmosphere. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 78°F and lows around 59°F, and a roughly 16% chance of precipitation. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with delicious post-race food generously donated by Duffy's Tavern, ensuring a festive end to your race day.
